Save when you shop and travel with the Co-op Connections® program.

A full house of energy savings ATTIC

In many homes, attic insulation is one of the easiest, least expensive and most effective ways to reduce your energy use. Contact us to find out how much insulation is right for your home.

DEN/OFFICE

Plug all electronic gadgets such as cellphone and laptop chargers, printers, gaming consoles and Blu-ray players into a power strip with an on/off switch. When not in use, turn the power strip off to eliminate all those energy vampires.

BATHROOM BEDROOM

Ceiling fans can help save energy all year long! In the summer, fans should rotate counterclockwise to push air down, creating a cooling flow. In the winter, fans should rotate clockwise to help draw cool air up toward the ceiling and push the warm air that naturally rises down to you and your family.

KITCHEN

LIVING ROOM

Smart thermostats learn how you and your family live and automatically adjust the temperature settings based on your lifestyle to keep you comfortable while saving you money.

Take a short shower instead of a bath. Short showers use much less water, and you’ll also save energy by not heating all that extra water!

Make sure your burner isn’t bigger than the pan, and use flat-bottomed pans to maximize surface contact with the burner. Minimize the number of times you open and close the refrigerator or oven door.
