Follow these energy saving tips in our apartments in Alachua, Florida:

• Always unplug cords from the outlet when a device is not in use, like phone charger cords, toaster cords, and coffee maker cords.
• Make an effort to let your dishes air dry or use the “no heat dry” setting on your dishwasher.
• Switch all of you light bulbs to Energy Star® approved compact fluorescents.
• Wash clothes in cold water whenever possible.
• Try not to let your showers exceed 15 minutes.
• Make sure to turn lights off when you're not using them.
• Close blinds and drapes in the summer and open them in the winter so that the sun (or lack thereof) can help regulate your apartment temperature.
• In the summer, turn on overhead fans instead of running your air conditioning on full blast.
