Were committed to Energy Efficiency
PG&E has saved more than 155 million MWh and 12.5 billion therms from installed energy
efficiency measures, which is the equivalent of powering over 23.5 million homes with electricity
and heating 25 million homes with natural gas

Step 1. Conservation Practices (No-Cost)
Keep your thermostat at 68 degrees
in the winter and 78 degrees in the
summer (health permitting)
Adjust thermostat up/down when you
leave home or go to bed
Lower your water heaters thermostat
to 120 degrees F
Only run full dishwashers and loads
of laundry
Turn off the water when brushing
teeth, washing dishes, etc.
Take shorter showers
11
Step 1 (cont). Conservation Practices
(Low Cost)
Install faucet aerators,
ultra-low flow toilets and
showerheads
12
Step 2. Strive For High Efficiency
(Low-Cost)
Replace regular light bulbs with
Compact Fluorescent Lamps
(CFLs)
CFLs lasts up to 10 times longer and
use up to 75% less energy than
regular bulbs
Look for the PG&E
sticker and save!
13
Step 3. Strive For Higher Efficiency
(Investment)
Buy high efficiency appliances (i.e.,
clothes washers, dishwashers, water
heaters)
These appliances use 10% to 50% less
energy than standard appliances
Look for the ENERGY STAR
