LED lights - available for every kind of use in your home or business. Look for SRP discounted bulbs at Home Depot, Costco, Sam's Club and WalMart.

Water Heater Timer - No sense heating water if you are not in the house to use it. See savewithSRP.com.

Air Filters - midgrade pleated filters are the best to use. She recommends changing them monthly.

Shade Screens - can cut your cooling costs by up to 25% by shading sun-exposed windows. SRP-approved contractors give a reduced rate for screens.

Shade Trees - SRP is giving customers two free desert-adapted shade trees for your home.

Programmable Thermostats - these can save up to $180 annually if properly used. Newer models offer remote access control from your cell phone. There is an SRP rebate on them.

New ACs - SRP offers a rebate for installation of the new super efficient AC units.

Tanya also talked briefly about ways to save on water usage. She mentioned water-efficient faucets, water-efficient showerheads, high-efficiency toilets and high-efficiency kitchen and laundry room appliances.
