Save Money While Working From Home

Energy Savings

• Switch older light bulbs to LEDs (light-emitting diode), which use a lot of energy.

• When you leave the room, turn off the lights.

• Keep window blinds and curtains closed during the morning to preserve cold air.

• Air dry your dishes on a dish rack instead of using the dishwasher.

• Unplug your laptop and phone chargers once the device is fully charged. Your charge may still use energy even when your device is not connected.

• Unplug microwave and electric ovens when not in use. LED indicators on microwave and ovens usually stay on when not in use.

• Use a surge protector or power strip. Surge protectors divert or block excess energy if it is not needed. (Vampire Power)

• Air dry clothes, if possible.

Money Savings

• Try to use Wifi Calls instead of regular phone calls to save on the phone bill.

• Meal Planning for the day prevent overconsumption of food and raising your grocery bill.

• Start growing your own backyard garden to help reduce food costs.
