Duke Energy gives tips to trim energy use in the new year If saving money made your New Year's resolution list, start by cutting your energy use, to save money year-round. With some sim- ple lifestyle tweaks, you can trim your energy usage and help keep your 2020 budget in check. Here are ways to monitor and cut your energy use this winter and also avoid billing surprises: • Reduce your thermostat to the lowest comfortable setting. If you have a heat pump, maintain a moderate setting or use a programma- ble thermostat specifically designed for use with heat pumps. • Leave drapes or blinds open during sunny win- ter days to allow the sun to warm the house. Close them at night to help insulate your home. • Have the heating and air conditioning system checked regularly to main- tain performance. • Replace standard in- candescent bulbs with light- emitting diodes (LED). LEDs are more efficient while giving off the same amount of light. • Operate ceiling fans in a clockwise direction, which pushes warm air back down into the room. • Change air filters regu- larly. A dirty air filter makes a heating system work hard- er, which uses more energy. • Set your water heater's thermostat to 120 degrees to help you reduce your month- ly water heating bills.
