Spring Cleaning That Doubles As a Revenue Stream

The windows are open, the birds are back—and if you’re already knee-deep in closet cleanouts or junk drawer purging, it’s the perfect time to tidy up your energy use too. At PSEG Long Island, we believe small seasonal shifts can lead to year-round savings. A few smart updates—like sealing drafts or swapping out bulbs—can reduce your bill, extend the life of your appliances, and keep your home comfortable as temperatures climb.

5 Energy-Saving Moves to Add to Your Spring Routine

  1. Seal the Gaps — Drafts around windows and doors let your conditioned air escape. Caulk or weather strip to keep cool air in—and high bills out.
  2. Change Your HVAC Filter — A clean filter helps your system run efficiently and improves air quality. Aim to replace it every 90 days.
  3. Flip Your Ceiling Fans — Set fans to spin counterclockwise in warmer months to circulate cool air and give your A/C a break.
  4. Cut the Phantom Load — Electronics use energy even when turned off. Smart power strips help eliminate that silent drain.
  5. Make the LED Switch — LEDs use up to 90% less energy than incandescent bulbs and last far longer. An easy upgrade that pays off.
