“1 Thing”, is a program that our parent company, Entercom, has established. It’s “one thing” we can all do to help the environment. My latest 1 Thing, automatically adjusting my thermostat to reduce electricity and natural gas costs is working. I’m noticing both my electricity and my natural gas bills are lower this year versus last year. I drop my house temperature down four degrees when I go to work and leave it down all day until we are home again in the evening. I’ve also turned down the setting on my hot water heater so I’m not keeping the hot water as hot. Sometimes we fail to remember that the hot water heater is keeping the water hot all the time, even when we’re not home or on vacation. I’m a fan of the budget plan at Dominion Power. That keeps my electricity bill the same all year instead of really low in the winter and really high in the summer. You might check into it and let us know about your 1 Thing.
