Have you had your HVAC equipment tuned up recently? An annual inspection and maintenance helps ensure #energyefficiency.

[Emily @NGPowerofAction]

Checking your home for leaks can have a big payoff. @ENERGYSTAR estimates air leaks can account for 30-40% of heating & cooling loss.

That old, inefficient second fridge works extra hard when it's left in a hot garage all summer. Unplug or recycle it! #saveenergy

[Emily @NGPowerofAction]

Making an afternoon snack? Try using a toaster oven or microwave to prepare it instead of the oven. You'll #saveenergy and money.

[Emily @NGPowerofAction]

Don't let potential #energy savings escape down the drain. Check for, and repair, any leaks around the house as soon as possible.

RT @nationalgridus: Taking a vacation this summer? Remember to turn off and unplug all non-essential lights & electronics before leaving.

[Emily @NGPowerofAction]

Stay cool & conserve #energy. Avoid heat generating activities such as cooking or washing clothes during the hottest hours of the day.

[Emily @NGPowerofAction]

A full fridge is an #energyefficient fridge. Keeping yours full means it won't have to work as hard to stay cold.

Cool efficiently & save money. Setting your AC to 75° costs about 18% more than setting it to 78°. #energyefficiency

[Emily @NGPowerofAction]

RT @nationalgridus: Know what isn't cool? A clogged AC filter. Check yours regularly, and replace if necessary, to keep air flowing freely.

Stepping away from your computer for more than two hours? Remember to turn it off to #saveenergy. #energyefficiency

[Emily @NGPowerofAction]

You know LEDs are bright & #energyefficient, but do you know these eight facts about them? http://t.co/afheHr6Jvp

[Emily @NGPowerofAction]

Have a professional examine your duct work for leaks. Sealing them can help you save on cooling costs. #energyefficiency

The 4th of July is quickly approaching! What will you do to save #energy this holiday weekend? #energyefficiency

[Emily @NGPowerofAction]

Cool down efficiently. A window AC unit can use up to 50% less #energy than central air when cooling small spaces.

[Emily @NGPowerofAction]

Gone for the day? Turn off the AC and close windows and drapes to keep your home cool until you return. #saveenergy

[Emily @NGPowerofAction]

RT @nationalgridus: Did you know an AC unit can use as much #energy as 32 fans? Use a few floor fans instead to stay cool & #saveenergy.

[Emily @NGPowerofAction]

Skip the bath and take a shower. You'll use much less hot water. #savemoney #energyefficiency

[Emily @NGPowerofAction]

When's the last time you checked your AC filter? Central air systems should be checked monthly, & window units even more often. #saveenergy

[Emily @NGPowerofAction]

RT @nationalgridus: Get kids involved in #energyefficiency. Teach them to turn off electronics, lights and water when not in use.
