Every day is a great day for saving energy, and here are 5 energy conservation tips you can use right now:

1. Embrace natural ventilation – open the windows!
2. Cook your meals outside – get grillin’!
3. Manage your thermostat settings – according to the U.S. Department of Energy, the smaller the difference between the indoor and outdoor temperatures, the lower your overall cooling bill will be.
4. Replace HVAC air filters -- Change filters at the start of spring, ideally using a MERV 9-12 rating for optimal filtration.
5. Check insulation and seal gaps around windows and doors – it’ll prevent warm, humid air from entering your home.
