? You generate savings just by developing the habit of unplugging unused appliances. For these draw electricity even when they haven't been turned on.
? When shopping for new electrical appliances, especially for your heater or air conditioner, look for the Energy Guide label, that guarantee the appliance is energy effective.
? Buy programmable thermostats - then 10 degrees set back for 8 to 10 hours for your heater in winter and your air-conditioners during the summer. Watch your savings climb up.
? Keep your appliances always clean, it will reduce the amount of energy they need to warm or cool up, for instance.
? Request for a home energy audit from your utility company, which will help you identify ways to generate savings on your home heating or air-conditioning bills. If they don't offer the service, ask them to refer you to a qualified professional.
? Keep your furnace clean by replacing the filter every 3 months during peak use. You still generate savings when you buy new filters rather than having the heater or air-conditioner work overtime before it gets warmer or cooler.
? Have a professional go over the insulation of your roof, and add extra insulation if needed. This will stop heat loss and keep your heating or air-conditioning bills down.
? You will generate even more savings if you are vigilant about sealing leaks in your attic, basement, fireplace and around electrical outlets.
? Turn off your computer, the lights and air conditioner when you are not using these. You'll saving more, and actually prolonging the life of your computer. Because when you restart the home computer, you allow it to refresh its' memory and regenerate the operating system.
