SAVE ON YOUR ENERGY BILLS THIS YEAR!
I received this handy little sticker pack with my Ameren UE electric bill - one sticker for each month with energy tips:
JANUARY - Open south-facing drapes to allow sunlight in during the day; close them at night.
FEBRUARY - Fluorescent task lightning, rather than overhead, saves energy.
MARCH - 3/9 Daylight savings time begins. Turn the clocks forward one hour.
APRIL - To conserve heat, run exhaust fans for 20 minute at a time.
MAY - Have your AC serviced before running this summer; it will be more efficient
JUNE - Seal up air leaks around your home - keep the cool air in.
JULY - Consider CFSs (compact flourescent) as an alternative to regular light bulbs to save energy
AUGUST - Move large appliances away from thermostats; they will register the heat and run more frequently
SEPTEMBER - Schedule Yearly maintenance on your furnace
OCTOBER - Weather stripping around windows and doors helps conserve heat
NOVEMBER - 11/2 Daylight savings time ends - turn the clocks back one hour
