Household Maintenance

Reverse Ceiling Fans. Set your fans to rotate clockwise. This simple strategy will push the warm air down to reduce energy use and keep you cozier.  

Insulate Your Tank-Style Water Heater. Wrapping a water heater insulation blanket around your tank will reduce heat loss and save money on energy bills. Consider installing a heat pump water heater for efficiency.  

Use Countertop Appliances to Cook. A toaster oven, convection oven and air fryer use one-third to one-half as much energy as a full-sized oven, and slow cookers are very efficient when making soups or stews.  

Consider Installing a Heat Pump. A heat pump both heats and cools your home, improves indoor air quality and is more energy efficient than traditional HVAC equipment. To learn more, head to www.wattsmart.com and visit our news page to listen to the radio interview on heat pump benefits.
