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.
