Tips that will save you money. |
Save on Electricity
Use Task Lights, rather than general room lighting
A Compact Fluorescent Light (CFL) uses 75% less electricity to produce the same amount of light as an incandescent. The CFL will last about 10,000 hours as opposed to the 600 to 1,000 hour average life as an incandescent. Replacing a 100 watt incandescent with its equivalent 25 watt CFL will save more than $90 per bulb in electricity costs over the CFL's 10,000 hour lifetime. You will also eliminate the inconvenience and expense of replacing the ten to fifteen incandescent bulbs which will burn out over the same period.
Limit display and decorative lights
Turn off printers, computers, television, radios and so on when not in use
Unplug clocks and other small appliances in rooms you seldom use
The refrigerator uses 20% of the average home's electricity. The temperature in your refrigerator should be 38-40 degrees F, and the freezer 0 to 5 degrees. Make sure they are not running too cold. Make sure the strip around the door is in good repair. Make sure the freezer is defrosted (if this is done manually).
Keep the freezer full of something, such as loaves of bread or milk jugs filled with water, to keep the cold air from "falling out" when the door is opened.
