Winter Conservation Tips

• Set your water heater to 120 degrees
• Turn down your thermostat and bundle up
• Set your ceiling fan blades to spin clockwise
• Check and repair air leaks in your external doors, windows, and attic
• Close doors and vents in unused rooms to avoid heating unused areas
• If possible, manage your heater with a smart thermostat
• Locate your hand cut-off valve, usually located approximately two feet from your water meter, in case you need to cut off your water during a freeze event
