Holiday Efficiency & Safety Tips

• Here's an easy way to save energy this holiday season! Use an automatic timer to manage energy used by outdoor holiday lighting and other electric decor.

• A hydrated tree is a happy (and safe) tree! Remember to check your tree's water level regularly.

• Even if the weather isn't all that frightful, the fire truly is delightful! Remember to close the damper when you're done using the fireplace.

• Frayed or damaged decor isn't worth the risk. Toss out any worn out (electrical) decorations and replace them for a safe holiday season.

• We know you're cooking up a storm this holiday season! Countertop appliances use less energy than larger appliances, so use them when you're preparing a smaller feast.

• Extension cords help bring our holiday lighting to life. But be mindful of where you place them.

RSE will be closed December 23 & 26 for Christmas!

Is your home heating system ready for the winter chill? One of the easiest ways to keep your system running e ciently is to regularly replace lters. If your central air system has a furnace lter, it should be replaced about every 90 days. If your home is heated through warmair registers, baseboard heaters or radiators, remember to clean regularly to boost e ciency.
