Energy-Saving Opportunities for Renters

As a renter, you may feel as though you don’t have control over the energy costs in your home. But there are many no-cost and low-cost opportunities to save energy without making any major changes to your space.

Switch to LED Lighting

Switch to LED lightbulbs in the lamps and fixtures you use most often around your apartment. LEDs use less energy, cost less to operate, and can last up to 25 years longer. Replace your five most commonly used light bulbs with ENERGY STAR® certified LED from our Online Marketplace and save up to $75 a year.

Or consider a smart thermostat to automatically control the temperature of your apartment from any smart device. Smart thermostats are free for multifamily properties, ask your property manager to contact us today.

Turn Off Electronics When Not in Use

When you are not using an electronic (like a computer or TV), make sure it is properly turned off. Leaving electronics on wastes energy and money. Consider purchasing an advanced power strip to automatically turn all electronics off when not in use throughout your apartment.
