Here's 8 Great
Electricity
Saving Tips That Can Save You Loads Of Cash
How much money do
you spend every month on your energy bills? If you are like
most people, you probably think that it is way too much, and
you are probably right! As the cost of energy skyrocket's in
the face of uncertain economic times, people are looking to cut
costs any way they can. Fortunately, there are many, many great
tips that you can do easily -- and a few that take a bit more
effort -- that will not only help you save quite a bit of
money, but will ultimately help by saving energy as
well.
Before you get
started implementing the following 8 great electricity saving
tips, it would be most beneficial for you to formulate a plan
of action to determine your greatest opportunities in saving
energy. For example, did you know that combined your home's
heating, cooling, water heater and lighting account for a
whopping 66% of your homes energy usage? Think about that for a
few minutes... 66% of your energy bill comes from those 4
areas, so implementing just a few of the electricity saving
tips below could result in significant savings! With those
areas in mind, let us begin our journey:
1. The greatest amount of energy your home
consumes is in heating. Nearly 31% of your energy costs are
accumulated from this one area. In order to help you cut down
on your energy consumption here, you should purchase and
install an electric thermostat. By doing this, you can more
easily and efficiently regulate the temperature in your home.
Once you have installed your new thermostat, set it 1-5 degrees
lower than you normally would... for every degree lower, you
will save 5% of your energy usage.
2. You can significantly reduce the amount
of heat your home loses by weather stripping the windows and
doors in your home and using a clear caulk along the baseboards
to seal any cracks in the flooring where heat may escape your
home. This can stop 20% of your heat loss and significantly
reduce the amount of money you spend on heating your home, and
by regaining that 20% heat loss, you could probably set your
thermostat an additional 2 or 3 degrees lower and save even
more energy.
3. Take a look at your hot water heater.
Did you know that it uses about 14% of your homes energy? This
is a perfect area where saving energy can translate in to
saving money. First, have a look at your thermostat. It should
be set no higher than 120 degrees, which is quite a comfortable
temperature for showering and bathing as it is, but if you have
small children at home anything higher on the dial will have a
tendency to scald their skin as it is more sensitive than an
adults. Besides, if your thermostat is set any higher, the
system automatically adds cold water to prevent burns. Too, by
wrapping the pipes that lead from both the hot and cold water
you can actually increase the temperature of the water by about
4 degrees which allows you to be able to turn it down to around
115 degrees. This will save a great deal of energy and
money.
4. Cooling our homes also takes a
significant amount of energy, but there are some wonderful
electricity saving tips you can implement in this area that
will save energy and, of course, money. Install white blinds or
curtains on your windows and keep them closed during the
hottest part of the day. By using white, you will actually be
reflecting the heat away from your home rather than having it
be absorbed thus causing you to crank up the air conditioning.
Too, by using fans, in conjunction with your air conditioner,
you can actually raise the temperature on your thermostat 4 - 7
degrees without losing any comfort.
5. Lighting. This is an area where you can
begin saving power as soon as you change your light bulbs. By
replacing your incandescent light bulbs with Compact
Fluorescent light bulbs (CFL), you can save roughly 75% of your
homes energy usage through light bulbs. This can amount to
considerable savings over the lifetime of the CFL
bulbs.
6. When something is not in use, TURN IT
OFF! Not just on stand-by, but off! This is for electronic
equipment such as computers, DVD players, printers, cell phone
chargers and other similar electronic items that area
considerable drain on your energy resources. Just by leaving
them on when not in use (in the stand-by or hibernation mode),
you are wasting about 35% of your home's energy. To make this
an easy task, buy power strips and plug all your electronic
items in to them, when not in use, just flip the switch on the
power cord and voila, instant savings. You can go a long way in
saving power used in your home by implementing this electricity
saving tip.
7. When washing clothes, use the coldest
water setting your fabrics can tolerate and make sure to only
wash a full load during each wash cycle. Too, instead of drying
them in the dryer, hang them outside if it is a nice day and
save energy that way as well.
8. Insulate your walls and attic. By
insulating your home, you are literally creating a barrier
against the elements that helps prevent significant energy
loss.
As you can see,
there are many ways in which you can reduce the energy usage in
your house that will not only save you a significant amount of
money, but will also save a considerable amount of energy --
that has the added effect of helping reduce your carbon
footprint and your household's impact on the environment. Just
take advantage of the electricity saving tips above and you are
on your way to a leaner, greener energy bill.
