Saving Energy And Money

 

There are alot of ways we can all save electricity and money, and save a little piece of our planet while doing so.

• Replace ALL bulbs in your home with CFL bulbs (the spiral fluorescent bulbs) This can save you hundreds of dollars a year as well as reducing your energy used from the power company, which makes you a little more earth friendly!
• Use less air condition when possible, This can be achieved by turning your a/c off when your not home (its alot easier to cool a home in 30 minutes than to let the air run for 8 hours while your at work)
• Sleep in the dark and quiet! Just by turning the tv and fan off at night you can save over 100.00 a year!!!!
• Turn off outside lighting after 1 am, instead of allowing the lights to run for eight or more hours a night.
• Keep the refrigerator door closed, and adjust the thermostat to keep it cold, but not overly cold, try a med-low setting
•  Powered down computers when not in use! This is huge, computers suck alot of juice, and therefore create alot of heat, causing your central air to run more often, costing you money all the way around.
•  Try using natural lighting when possible through the day, I recommend opening the blinds or curtains whenever you need light, and closing them when you don't.
