Home Energy Improvements
Visit our energy savings section for solutions to help you manage your home energy costs.
Equal Pay smooths out the seasonal roller coaster of your electric bill.
Freezer Freezer
Make sure the rubber gaskets on freezer doors seal tightly.

Set the temperature between zero and 5 degrees. Setting the temperature just 10 degrees lower can use up to 25 percent more energy.

Defrost your freezer before frost builds up to 1/4 inch — this keeps the freezer and the fridge operating efficiently.

Unplugging an unused freezer can save $5–$10 a month on your bill, depending on the freezer’s size and age.
