We all want to put money towards Christmas gifts, a family vacation, or have a romantic night out with our spouses. Here's how we can save a few hundred dollars on our energy bills and put it towards something we really want!
10 Tips to Save Energy Today – Easy low-cost and no-cost ways to save energy and money.
1. Install a programmable thermostat to keep your house comfortably warm in the winter and comfortably cool in the summer.
3. Air dry dishes instead of using your dishwasher's drying cycle.
4. Turn off your computer and monitor when not in use.
5. Plug home electronics, such as TVs and DVD players, into power strips; turn the power strips off when the equipment is not in use (TVs and DVDs in standby mode still use several watts of power).
6. Lower the thermostat on your hot water heater to 120°F.
7. Take short showers instead of baths.
8. Wash only full loads of dishes and clothes.
9. Caulk, seal, and weather strip all seams, cracks, and openings to the outside.
10. Look for the ENERGY STAR® label on home appliances and products. ENERGY STAR® products meet strict efficiency guidelines set by the U.S. Department of Energy and the Environmental Protection Agency.
