Energy Upgrade California is thankful for all the Californians working together to make our home state greener and more energy efficient, especially during a challenging year.
Thanksgiving Energy-Saving Tips:
- Remove refrigerated food all at once: Every time you open and close the door on a refrigerator or freezer, it runs longer to replace the cold air that escapes, which wastes energy. Think about what you need and remove it all at once.
- Let the leftovers cool on their own: Allow leftovers to cool completely at room temperature, rather than using your refrigerator or freezer. This shouldn’t take too much extra time and it will help to save energy.
- Use your microwave to heat when possible: In addition to being quick and convenient, microwaves use about half the power of a standard oven.
