| Plug "leaking energy" in electronics to save money with your Yukon utility company. Many new TVs, VCRs, chargers, computer peripherals and other electronics use electricity even when they are switched "off." Although these "standby losses" are only a few watts each, they add up to over 50 watts in a typical home that is consumed all the time. If possible, unplug electronic devices and chargers that have a block-shaped transformer on the plug when they are not in use. For computer scanners, printers and other devices that are plugged into a power strip, simply switch off the power strip after shutting down your computer. Connect Yukon utilities online. |

It pays to take equal care in shopping for electricity. And you need to know what to look for to avoid getting a shock when that first bill arrives. Connect Yukon utilities online |

| Set your thermostat at 70 degrees or lower in the winter to save money with your Yukon utility company. Every degree you raise your thermostat means a higher heating bill. If you plan to be away from home for several days, 55 degrees or so is a good setting. Heating costs will increase four to six percent for every thermostat setting above 70 degrees during the winter.
