  • Refrigerator: Did you know that your refrigerator could be the appliance equivalent of a giant, gas guzzling SUV? It's the single biggest power consumer in most households. And the older your refrigerator is, the more power it burns.

    When you upgrade, look for the ENERGY STAR® label. If your refrigerator is at least ten years old, it uses as much energy as TWO ENERGY STAR labeled refrigerators.  Click here for more details.

  • Dish Washer: Don't eat and run your dishwasher after every meal. Wait until you have a full load and you'll save money on water and power.

  • Sink: Drip. Drip. Drip. Drip. If your faucet does this twenty times in one minute, your money could be going down the drain. Repair that drip and save almost 700 gallons of water per year.

Click here if you're not afraid of commitment. Do your part to save energy in the South Bay!
