Give yourself a break on energy costs. Before leaving on a trip, turn off your water and gas and unplug common appliances such as microwaves and televisions. This will both reduce unnecessary usage and prevent damage caused by energy surges. Consider setting your thermostat 10 degrees lower than the outside temperature or simply turn it off. If you'll be away for an extended period of time, turn off your pilot light for maximum savings. From putting lights on timers to setting up automatic bill pay, following these tips can minimize pretravel stress and help make your return home sweet.
