Energy Conservation Awareness Week is here!

Sanctioned by Governor Tim Kaine in 2007, the first full week in October is Virginia’s Energy Conservation Awareness Week! This week is a great reminder to citizens to help cut back on energy consumption. Here’s a daily list of things you can do to help conserve around your home:
Monday – Purchase a hot water heater insulation jacket preparing for the winter months.

Tuesday – Purchase “foam outlet gaskets” to insulate electrical outlets.

Wednesday – Unplug unused appliances (like freezers in the garage or TV’s in the guest room) – a free way to save energy.

Thursday – Dust lamp (and ceiling lamp) fixtures to brighten up the room.

Friday – Purchase an Energy Star appliance while the Energy Star Tax Free Weekend is here!

Is the insulation jacket what I think it is? A insulating thing to cover the water heater to have less heat emitting into the air? What a great idea! Totally DIY if you have the motivation. Great!
