Small changes create life-long saving habits
the entire family can keep year-round
Summer may be over for students heading back to class, but the
hot weather will be sticking around for several more weeks. With
the house or apartment a little emptier, now may be a great time to
cut back on energy use.
Ways to Save at Home as Students Head Back to the
Classroom
- Adjust Thermostat Ensure the
thermostat is set at 78 degrees or higher. Customers can save 4-8%
on cooling costs for each degree the thermostat is raised.
- Use the Refrigerator Wisely With kids
away at school, the refrigerator door may not be open and closed as
often. While preparing school lunches, take out all ingredients and
supplies at once and set them on the counter to ensure the door is
not open for prolonged periods of time.|
- Unplug Devices With electronics
unused most of the day at home, make sure they are unplugged and
powered off. This will prevent unused electronics from using energy
when they are not in use.
PG&E encourages customers to put these tips into action as
kids head back to school in hopes of forming life-long habits the
entire family can keep year-round. To find out how much energy goes
to cooling, hot water, appliances, and other uses take PG&E’s
5-minute Home Energy Checkup.
PG&E also supports the Energy is Everything Program which
offers K-12 educators with curriculum resources to help teach
students about energy and the environment with a science,
technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) focus. The
educational program is available at no cost to students throughout
California.
