1. Turn your air conditioner off. Keeping your home cool is likely your largest energy expense during the summer. However, it’s pointless if you’re not home. You can save a lot of energy and money by switching your thermostat off before you leave on your vacation.


2. Unplug. Most electronics use electricity if they are plugged in. Even if you have them switched “off” you’re likely paying for some standby energy waste. Before you head out of town, unplug as many devices and appliances as you can.


3. Give your water heater a vacation too. New hot water heaters have a vacation (VAC) mode. Once switched on, the hot water heater will lower the temperature to 50 degrees to prevent energy waste while you’re away. If you have an older model, it’s still possible to save. Just turn your heater’s thermostat down as much as possible or switch it off completely at the breaker.


4. Keep your shades drawn. It’s important to keep blinds and curtains tightly closed while you’re on vacation. It not only keeps prying eyes away from your empty home, but it helps ward off the hot sun out as well.


5. Switch off your lights. Turn off all the lights before you leave to avoid energy waste. If you’re concerned about the security of your home it’s actually best not to leave a light on. Instead, have a couple of lights on a timer so they turn off and on periodically throughout your vacation. This will save energy and make it appear as if someone is home.
