Energy Conservation

While it is important to be responsible users wherever you live, conservation is of higher importance in Hawaii because the islands are geographically isolated and natural resources are scarcer and more expensive. The following are some guidelines residents can follow to reduce energy consumption:

• Maintain a household thermostat setting between 74 to 80 degrees Fahrenheit when operating air-conditioning units.
• Central A/C units must be left in “auto” position at all times to maintain a consistent temperature.
• Check your A/C filter each month and replace as needed to keep your system running efficiently.
• Close all doors and windows when operating air-conditioning units to prevent mold and maximize efficiency.
• Turn off all lights when they are not needed such as in unoccupied rooms, outdoor lights during daylight hours, or other electronics that you are not using.
• Use cold water to do laundry, for operating garbage disposals, and for other similar activities.
