Follow This Winning Game Plan for Energy Savings

Getting ready for Sunday's big game? Keep the excitement high and your energy use low with a few simple gameday tips:

• Dial down the thermostat. Extra bodies (and all that cheering) will naturally warm your home.
• Rely on small appliances. Slow cookers, air fryers, and pressure cookers deliver crowd-pleasing snacks while using less energy than your oven or stovetop.
• Keep the focus on the field. Switch off lights and electronics in rooms you're not using to save energy without missing a play.
• Run full dishwasher loads. Modern, energy efficient dishwashers use less energy and water than washing by hand-perfect for postgame cleanup.

Looking for an easy, energy-friendly appetizer? Your slow cooker has you covered.
