What energy-saving tips does Stream Energy recommend?

Stream Energy offers several energy-saving tips to help customers reduce their energy consumption and lower their utility bills. One of the most effective strategies is to enhance the insulation and sealing of the home. By ensuring that the windows, doors, and any holes or cracks are properly sealed, homeowners can prevent heat from escaping during colder months and reduce the need for heating. Another recommendation involves using energy-efficient appliances. These appliances are designed to consume less electricity while providing the same level of performance. When it comes to lighting, switching to LED bulbs can also make a significant difference, as they use far less energy than traditional incandescent bulbs and have a longer lifespan. Additionally, Stream Energy suggests adjusting the thermostat settings. During the summer, setting the thermostat a few degrees higher can lead to notable energy savings. In the winter, lowering the thermostat can provide similar benefits. It is also a good practice to unplug electronic devices that are not in use, as they can still draw energy in standby mode. Finally, utilizing natural light whenever possible can reduce the need for artificial lighting during the day.
