Advanced Meters: Less Use - Lower Bills

Advanced metering systems provide new ways for customers to manage their energy consumption and help lower their electric bills. Global research has shown that customers using advanced meters consumed 5-10% less energy.

Summer Energy Saving Checklist

	Set your thermostat at 78 when you are home and 85 degrees when you are away. Each degree cooler or warmer will increase your energy use by 6 to 8%.
	Clean or replace air conditioner filter and coils or have your air conditioning unit serviced to cut 15% of cooling costs. And make sure to turn your system off if you leave for the entire weekend.
	Eliminate wasted energy. Turn off your lights when you leave the room. And sit down with your kids and challenge them to do the same.
	Install a programmable thermostat. It can save up to $160 per year and pays for itself in 6-9 months.
	Seal cracks, gaps, leaks and add insulation to save up to 20% on home cooling costs.
	Find or download your past summer electric bills and make a 2010 summer goal to use less kilowatts and save money!
