Green Tips
Maintain your central air conditioner by cleaning the outside compressor with a garden hose. (Be sure to shut off power at the fuse or breaker first). Keep plants at least one foot away from unit for adequate airflow.
Reflective window film can help reduce heat gain during the summer, and it will keep furniture and carpets from fading.
Set the water heater temperature at 120-degrees, about halfway between low and medium. This will help save energy and prevent scalding while keeping unhealthy bacteria from growing.
Plant during the spring or fall when the watering requirements are lower.
Divide your watering cycle into shorter periods to reduce runoff and allow for better absorption every time you water.
Adjust your lawn mower to a higher setting. Longer grass shades root systems and holds soil moisture better than a closely clipped lawn.
Replace an incandescent outdoor light or high-intensity floodlight with a high-pressure sodium fixture. The bulbs will last longer, use less energy, and handle temperature extremes better.
Install a low-flow showerhead. They're inexpensive, easy to install, and can save your family more than 500-gallons a week.
Don't buy recreational water toys that require a constant flow of water.
Use a hose nozzle and turn off the water while you wash your car and save more than 100-gallons.
