Extra Energy Tips. (cont.)
Heating
11. Locate the thermostat on an inside wall away
from windows and doors.
12. Set the thermostat as low as comfort permits.
Each degree over 68°F can add 3% to the
amount of energy needed for heating.
13. People generate heat. So lower the
thermostat a degree or two when expecting a
large group of guests. Otherwise your home
may be wastefully overheated.
Cooling
14. When possible, locate any window air
conditioning units on the north or shady side
of the house.
15. Set the thermostat as high as comfort will
permit.
16. Make sure attics are adequately ventilated to
relieve heat build-up. If necessary, improve
airflow by adding or enlarging vents.
17. When building a new house or renovating an
old one, choose light-colored roof shingles to
reflect more of the sun’s heat.
18. During moderate weather, don’t use the air
conditioner unnecessarily.
19. Draw blinds or drapes to block the sunlight
during the hottest part of the day.
20. Install awnings over windows exposed to
direct sunlight.
21. In the cooling season, don’t run kitchen and
bath exhaust fans longer than necessary.
22. Don’t place lamps, TV sets or other heat-
producing devices beneath a wall-mounted
thermostat. Rising heat from the equipment
may cause the air conditioner system to
overcool your house.
Water heating
23. Keep your water heating system properly
maintained. Once or twice a year, drain a

Important Service Information.
bucket of water out of the bottom of the tank
as it may be full of sediment.
24. Add an extra layer of protection with a water
heater insulation kit. It will keep the heat from
being lost through the walls of your tank.
25. Locate water heaters as close to the points
of hot water as possible. (The longer the
supply pipe, the more heat lost.)
26. Repair leaky faucets promptly. A steady drip
of water can waste many gallons per month
and the energy used to heat it.
27. Running water is wasted water. When you
shave, use a sink stopper. When you
handwash dishes, use a dishpan.
Clean and check
28. It is recommended that an annual “clean and
check” be performed on heating / air
conditioning equipment. Call your local Trane
service professional for details.
