Cutting energy costs is beneficial to you and the environment. Here are a few money saving tips:
1. First a rule. Turn off lights when you are leaving a room.
Programmable Slow Cooker
2. Did you know when you are cooking with ceramic or glass the oven temperature can be lowered by 25 degrees? You use the same recipe time.
3. Turn off exhaust fans as soon as you are finished. These fans are sources of heat and air conditioning loss.
4. Speaking of fans. Ceiling fans should move counter-clockwise to force warm air back down into the room. Reverse in summer.
5. Consider a programmable thermostat, which will automatically change temperatures when you are sleeping or gone during the day.
6. Should you install thermal curtains or shades that can be opened or closed to allow or block sun exposure?
7. Did you know appliances and electronics continue to drain power while they are turned off? This is called "vampire power" and can be eliminated by unplugging the appliances or electronic devise. Always remember to unplug recharges when not in use.
8. Install electronic air filters that will make a whistling sound when they need cleaning. This simple improvement has multiple benefits; such as cleaner air to breathe which helps with allergies, more efficient air conditioner performance, and the living area stays cleaner.
9. Instead of using the oven try cooking with a toaster oven or other appliances such as a NuWave. A slow cooker uses about 2 cents an hour. This is much cheaper than the oven.
10. Don't overstock the freezer or refrigerator. The air needs to circulate for efficiency and the compressor will work less hard.
11. When buying a new appliance, buy the most energy efficient. Watch for the Energy Star Rating. If the item costs more than a lesser rated item, it may save you money in the long run.
12. Install an energy efficient air conditioner, furnace, and hot water heater. These are some of the largest users of energy. There can be rebates from the energy companies and the federal government is currently offering incentives to change to more efficient energy usage.
13. Beware that a fireplace can lose more heat than it generates. Use it in place of your furnace. If it is very cold outside; then, don't use the fireplace.
14. Use energy efficient light bulbs.
15. Recessed lighting needs to be air tight to remove potential leaks.
16. Wash only full loads of laundry. It takes the same energy to wash a small load versus a large load.
17. Load the dishwasher to full capacity before you turn on your cycle and turn off the "heated dry" cycle. Wash dishes by hand for even more savings.
18. Turn off TV's you are not watching. Do you use the TV for company? Learn to enjoy a quite house.
19. Landscape your house with energy in mind. Place a shade tree to help in the summer and when the leaves are off the tree the openness may help allow in the sun during the winter.
20. Play games like cards with your family and turn your TV off. This is a two fold benefit.
