Have your electric bills been out of this world?
In times when people should be cutting costs our electric co. has been adding addtional fees and most of them are not usage fees. They are surcharges that you can not seem to get around….in the effort to make a difference here are some ideas to help you start saving your KW hr’s.
Close your curtains or blinds on the south sides of your homes
Install motion detectors in kids rooms
Install Solar water…you could have a sigficant tax credit too!
Use a programable thermostat for your cooling…have it shut off automatically~
Unplug items that are not in use…they still draw some power even if not used. Put your TV, stereo, DVD player and All other equipment on a power strip so with one push of a button you can turn them all off.
Clean your A/C filters often…best is once a month.
Use cold water when washing clothes.
Hope these items prove useful and save you some money monthy
