Help us conserve energy by turning off lights and electronics when they are not in use or when you leave a room/area.

Set your thermostat properly:

• Do not set units below 67°F. Temperatures below this can cause the equipment to freeze and cause condensation, which results in no cool air moving into the space and risk of a water leak or moisture buildup.
• If you live in Beam, Byrum or Welborn, please only run AC unit in the common area/kitchen at a time. Both units should not be run at the same time.
• Most residential facilities have dehumidifiers which need to run continuously in order to work effectively. The dehumidifier needs to be emptied daily. A red light indicates the tank is full. 
• Run your AC unit on the "Dry" mode if that is available.
• Keep all furniture, bedding, etc. at least eight inches away from the AC units and dehumidifiers in order to have allow proper air flow.
• Keep windows shut and do not prop doors open.
• Wash and dry clothing that is wet (rather than leaving it out).
• Allow wet shoes to fully dry prior to storing them.
• Hang up wet towels to allow them to dry.

• In apartment facilities, operate dishwashers and washing machines when you have a full load. Running these machines prematurely can waste water end energy.
• Comforters cannot go in the washing machines, doing so could damage your comforter and the machine.
