Have you had your HVAC equipment tuned up recently? An annual inspection and maintenance helps ensure #energyefficiency.

Checking your home for leaks can have a big payoff. @ENERGYSTAR estimates air leaks can account for 30-40% of heating & cooling loss.

That old, inefficient second fridge works extra hard when it's left in a hot garage all summer. Unplug or recycle it! #saveenergy

Making an afternoon snack? Try using a toaster oven or microwave to prepare it instead of the oven. You'll #saveenergy and money.

Cool efficiently & save money. Setting your AC to 75° costs about 18% more than setting it to 78°. #energyefficiency

RT @nationalgridus: Know what isn't cool? A clogged AC filter. Check yours regularly, and replace if necessary, to keep air flowing freely.

Stepping away from your computer for more than two hours? Remember to turn it off to #saveenergy. #energyefficiency

Have a professional examine your duct work for leaks. Sealing them can help you save on cooling costs. #energyefficiency

The 4th of July is quickly approaching! What will you do to save #energy this holiday weekend? #energyefficiency

Cool down efficiently. A window AC unit can use up to 50% less #energy than central air when cooling small spaces.

Skip the bath and take a shower. You'll use much less hot water. #savemoney #energyefficiency

When's the last time you checked your AC filter? Central air systems should be checked monthly, & window units even more often. #saveenergy

RT @nationalgridus: Get kids involved in #energyefficiency. Teach them to turn off electronics, lights and water when not in use.
