Energy Awareness
What Is Energy Awareness Month?
If you haven’t heard of it before, October is Energy Awareness Month, a time for people to make some easy changes and save on energy waste. Here are some things homeowners can do to save on energy:
Keep your water heater set to 120 F. You’ll save energy and avoid scalding your hands.
When you’re ready to replace, look at efficient types, like solar or heat pump water heaters. They can reduce your electricity bill by up to 40%.
Check if your water heater has an insulating blanket. An insulating blanket will pay for itself in one year or less!
Repair leaks quickly. A leak of one drip per second can waste up to 5 gallons of Water per day.
Install low-flow fixtures
- Place a bucket -- marked in gallon increments -- under your shower head.
- Turn on the shower at the normal water pressure you use.
- Time how many seconds it takes to fill the bucket to the 1-gallon (3.8 liter) mark.If it takes less than 20 seconds to reach the 1-gallon mark, you could benefit from a low-flow shower head.
Doing this is good for the environment, but it’s also good for your wallet! Less energy used means less money spent on utilities, meaning that these simple conservation tips can make a big difference for both the grid and the budget.

Here in Hawaii, the goal is 100% clean energy by 2045, and any little bit helps! Our service technicians have plenty of experience with helping homeowners clean up their energy usage with the most modern equipment available.
Solar water heaters do exactly what normal water heaters already do, except instead of increasing your carbon footprint, it uses the clean power of the sun. It’s also a good idea to install an efficient water filter in your plumbing system, as it can give your household the healthy water they deserve. Getting either service—or both—and decreasing impurities in your home’s energy or water usage is a big step forward not just for you, but for everyone!
