Home Energy Audits
Schedule a visit with the Home Energy Squad® to identify ways to improve energy efficiency at mncee.org/Home-Energy-Squad.

Temperature
Turn down your thermostat and lower the heat setting on your water heater.

Windows and doors
Use caulking and weather stripping to seal leaks and cut as much as 40% from your bill.

Appliances
Only run washing machines and clothes dryers with full loads and consider replacing outdated machines with high efficiency models.
