With Spring weather fading and summer right around the corner, many of us in Arizona are starting to prepare for those dreaded energy statements that can almost triple in a few short weeks. The staff at Jenco may not be able to control the temperatures outside but we can offer a few tips for the inside to help you drive down those peak costs:
For the office:
- Set sleep modes on your computers to minimize power consumption while away
- Use smart power strips to manage inactive energy drain from devices such as chargers and powered down electronics
- Adjust temperature setbacks on the building A/C to minimize operation after hours
- Create a bench mark for energy usage to know what practices are saving the most
- Re-commission older systems, it’s similar to the routine maintenance you perform on your car
For the home:
- Turn back your water heater settings or install a timer to control usage
- Set back the A/C to minimize cooling while away
- Replace older lamps with CFL or LED products
- Use a time of day plan and schedule for items such as pool pumps, dishwashers, and laundry machines
