Keep Your Next Laundry Load Energy-Efficient: Key Tips from Next Step Living

    BOSTON, MA, April 02, 2015 /24-7PressRelease/ -- It's a chore that most people don't enjoy, but has to be done: Laundry. Just in time for Earth Day, Next Step Living offers advice on how to save energy at home, starting with your laundry basket.

1. Make the switch to cold water while doing your laundry to save energy and money right away.

2. Only wash full loads - don't put your washer to work for just a few items.

3. Choose a front loading washing machine to save water and half as much energy as a top loading washing machine.

Next Step Living also partners with hundreds of cities and towns, corporations and nonprofits to help bring home energy efficiency to their communities.

"We like to think that the Portland Clean Energy Task Force helps get the word out, which is great, but Next Step Living helped us get people over the finish line to improve their homes," Andy Bauer, chair of Portland Connecticut Clean Energy Task Force says. "Next Step Living's team offered something extremely helpful, which is literally to put boots on the ground and go knock on doors."

Take the first step, and schedule a home energy assessment.
