Over 50 Energy Saving Tips!

City of Burbank has an excellent page on their website, under conservation, that lists over 50 energy saving tips!

Many of these tips are common sense and you may be using them already, but there are some you may not have considered, such as:

• Make sure the seals in the oven fit properly.
• Do not use fireplaces while your central heating system in on.

• Use reversible ceiling fans to push warm air downwards and keep rooms warmer.
• Match water heater size to your needs and set the temperature at 120°-140°

• Cover wall-mounted air conditioners with plastic film or an airtight cover.
• Check with your pool supply advisor for recommendations on how long to run your pool pump daily. Don’t run it any longer than necessary.
• Don’t block microwave vents.
• Keep lids on pots when cooking. While baking, do not open the oven; consider using the light instead.
