We want to help you save. A few small steps could add up to big savings.

Weatherize your home - Sealing air leaks around windows, doors and vents will help save energy and will make your home more comfortable.

Invest in smart tools - Smart thermostats, smart appliances and smart irrigation controllers all use technology to help you save.

Look for labels - When buying appliances, water heaters, electronics, light bulbs, toilets, faucet, shower heads, and more, look for ENERGY STAR® and WaterSense labels. Items with these labels are certified by the EPA to use less and can save you significant money on your utility bills.
