Whether you call it Energy Awareness Month or Energy Action Month, October is the right time to be more aware of your energy use — at home, at the office, on the road — and take action to reduce your energy use and costs.
Here are 3 ways to start your Energy Awareness/Action Month off right:
1. The Federal Energy Management Program’s Home Energy Checklist or Office Energy Checklist.
2. Want a customized checklist for your home? Start with a Home Energy Checkup, by LEAP.
3. And Virginia is one of a few states to offer a Sales Tax Holiday on qualifying ENERGY STAR and Water Sense products October 11-14.
