Saving Electricity

[jcscuba]

Here are Some Tips for Saving Electricity in the Living Room:

Install ceiling insulation.
Keep curtains closed. This prevents heat loss in the winter and heat gain in the summer.
Close off unheated areas.
Don't overheat the room. Increasing the thermostat by 1 degree can increase costs by 3 percent.
Clean heating and air-conditioner filters regularly.
Dress appropriately.
Choose energy-efficient appliances. Compare energy rating labels before you buy.
Turn off appliances when you aren't using them.
Remove dust and fluff from the fan and reflective surfaces of heater to keep clean, efficient and safe.


I've switched all my light bulbs into Gore bulbs and it has cut my electric bill by $20.00 a month.
