SAVE ELECTRICITY FOR PROSPERITY

SAVE ELECTRICITY! SAVE ELECTRICITY!! SAVE ELECTRICITY!!!As you know, the home electric bills area big probelm to all of us, everytime. What can we do for it to reduce? Giving some methods to slash down your electric bills.1. The first and ultimate method is to switch/turn off all lights, fans, coolers, ac's, tv etc., when you are directly not using it. This is not a brainer, but one of the easiest method to cut down electric bills.2. An Air Conditioner uses a tremendous quantity of electricity when it runs. Set temperature to 78 degrees F or higher during Summer, so the AC will run less and you can realise the savings. During Winter, turn the set temperature down. Every degree you lower the set temperature will save 3%-3.5% of energy costs over a 24 hours period.3. Maintain your Refrigerator (Fridge) because it is the one of the biggest energy users in the home. It should be operated at maximum efficiency. Defrost if necessary (most are frost-free). To reduce amount of power the refrigerator's motor uses, consider plugging it into an electronic induction motor control such as the Power Planner.4. Use electrical appliances less. Opt to cook on microwave instead of an electric oven. When buying new electrical appliances, check the enery guide labels to sure they are evergy efficient models.5. Turn down the water heater temperature to a maximum of 120 degrees and save energy.6. Replace standard light bulbs with highly efficient compact flourescent bulbs(CFL), which use from about one quarter to one third the energy to produce the same amount of light (a 20 watt CFL will give you about the same light as a 75 watt other bulb.7. Use natural light. Longer days and a higher summer sun light afford you an opportunity to let the natural light help with the current bills. The way is to admit sunlight without heat and glare in to the interiors.
