Lighting

Replace incandescent light bulbs with ENERGY STAR qualified compact fluorescent lamps (CFL) which use up to 75 percent less energy. For additional information go to: www.sce.com/newlight.

Use task lighting when possible. Focus light where it is needed rather than lighting an entire room.

Install timers or photocells with motion sensors to enhance security and ensure that outside lighting is used only when needed.

For your bathrooms, hallways, or bedrooms consider installing LED night lights equipped with photo sensors to keep them off during daylight hours.

 

Appliances

Always wash a full load of clothes or use the variable water level adjustment for smaller loads to save energy.

Use an automatic clothes-drying cycle instead of a timed cycle.

Put full loads in the dishwasher and use the energy saving setting for the drying cycle or let dishes air dry.

Use your microwave oven as much as possible in the summer.

Leave space between your refrigerator and the surrounding walls and cabinets to allow air to circulate around the coils.

Unplug your spare refrigerator or freezer if you do not use it and save up to $292 on your electric bill. Consider recycling your spare working refrigerator or freezer by participating in SCEs free refrigerator and freezer recycling program. Go to www.sce.com/pickup for more details.

To save on your water heating cost, set your water heater to 120 Degrees F or normal setting.
