Puako Home Sales / Kohala Coast Properties

1. No more Standby! Seventy Five percent of electricity used in the home is actually wasted. It’s the power electronics like TVs and computers in standby mode that really waste the energy. So turn them off when not in use. You could save a lot of money each year.

2. Turn off the lights in empty rooms. Also turn off fans, stereos, and A/C

3. Open the windows. Let the trade winds reduce A/C use. Save up to $100.00 a year on your electric bill.

4. Close the drapes and blinds before turning on the A/C. The sun’s heat makes your unit work harder, driving up the monthly energy bill.

5. This one just saves money. Sign up for Hawaiian Electric’s Energy Scout to allow the utility to turn off you hot water heater briefly during system emergencies. You will earn $3 tax credit on your monthly electic bill.

6. Take the energy pledge. Start saving energy by declaring your commitment. Download your pledge card at www.heco.com , sign it and place it on the fridge where everyone can see it.
