GREEN TIP-OF-THE-WEEK

water heater

Tell your hot water to cool it.
Turn the temperature on your water heater down to 120 degrees to save energy. Many manufacturers set the thermostats at 140 degrees, which wastes energy and poses a safety hazard for possible scalding. If you’re going out of town for at least three days, turn the thermostat down to the lowest setting or turn off your water heater completely.
