Take a couple of tips from these cute pets on how you can be more energy efficient around your home this summer. 

1. Wash full loads
Wash full loads of laundry to save about 3,400 gallons of water each year.

2. Energy Star models
ENERGY STAR® certified refrigerators are required to use about 20 percent less energy than your average non-certified model. Learn how you can get a rebate if you replace your old refrigerator with an ENERGY STAR® refrigerator. 

3. Air dry your clothes 
Give your dryer a break and hang-dry your clothes to save energy. 

4. Pool pump efficiency
Replace your single or two-speed pool pump with a more efficient variable-speed pump. Learn about our pool pump rebates. 

5. Fill it up 
Wait until your dishwasher is full, then run it. 

6. Clean your A/C filters 
Regular maintenance of your filters helps keep your air conditioner running efficiently. Be sure to clean or replace your A/C filters. 

7. Unplug your electronics 
Unplug or turn off electronic devices when they aren’t in use. 

8. Keep the heat out 
Close your blinds to keep out the afternoon heat. 

9. Recycle your fridge or upgrade
We’ll pick up your old refrigerator and give you $50, plus you can get up to $75 on your next ENERGY STAR® refrigerator.
