Heading out of town during the holiday season? Set your home to "vacation mode" and save energy while you're away!
- Lower your thermostat a few degrees or create an "away" schedule with a smart or programmable thermostat.
- Lower your water heater temp (newer water heaters include a vacation mode setting).
- Unplug devices that consume energy when they're not in use, including phone chargers, toothbrush chargers, TVs and gaming consoles.
