Conservation Saves
Energy, Money and the Environment
Conservation is a lifestyle, not just something we should do during emergencies. And SCE encourages everyone to conserve electricity year round. Here are some ways you can start conserving power today:
Use electric fans instead of air conditioners. Fans cool just the areas you need and they take less power to operate.
Set your thermostats to a minimum of 78 degrees during heat waves.
Turn off appliances and equipment and unplug them when not in use, as they still draw on your power supply when plugged in.
Hang drapes and blinds to keep out heat from the sun during hot periods.
Limit your trips to the refrigerator. Keep a cooler stocked with beverages to quench your thirst.
Plan your swimming pool maintenance for early in morning or late in evening as pool equipment pulls heavily on your power supply.
Avoid using washers and dryers for single items or very small loads. And remember to give your appliances a day off.
Making conservation a way of life may take some getting used to, but once you start, you’ll be joining many SCE customers who are saving energy, money and the environment every day.
