FPL Tips

Turn off your overhead fan when you leave a room for potential savings of up to $85 per year, per fan.
Ensure a tight seal is around your refrigerator door.
Limit pool pump use to six hours a day or fewer in summer and four hours or fewer in winter. A variable-speed pool pump saves about
$300 a year. Consider an energy efficient pool heater or a pool blanket.
Reduce temperature on your water heater. Lowering by 10 degrees potentially saves 3 percent to 5 percent on water heating expenses.
Raise your thermostat to 78 degrees in summer. You'll save 5 percent on cooling costs for each degree upward.
Replace old worn-out cookware. Flat-bottomed cookware offers better contact with heating
elements, and likely requires less energy.
