Power Bill Sending Shock Waves in Your Budget?
Try these 6 Energy Saving Tips
Following are the 6 best tips for in your home energy/$$$$ saving.
#1 - Did you know computers, televisions, other devices, and appliances use power when they're off. Plug these devices into an easy-to-reach power strip and turn it off when you're not using them.
#2 - Lower the thermostat by at least 2 degrees and wear a sweater. I have a lovely Scottish wool cape works great.
#3 - Turn off your dishwasher after the wash/rinse cycle and let the dishes air dry, the way we used to in the days of dish drainers. Be sure to have the door open and the racks pulled out slightly.
#4 - Turn off unnecessary lights - a no brainer. Especially ceiling lights.
#5 - Take shorter showers and turn the water off when shaving and brushing your teeth.
#6 - Adjust your hot water heater. Most of us have to add the cool water to keep from burning ourselves. Turn it down.
