Regulate your electric use

Day 6

Regulate your electric use


This can be done a number of ways.

1. Turn off the Television: We spend so much extra money a year on our electric bill just because we leave the television on when we leave the room. Start turning off the television or even better unplug the television when you leave the room.
2. Lower your air conditioner use: This can be done a number of ways. The easiest way to lower your air conditioner use is to turn it off when you aren't going to be home all day. Also, turn the air up at night and sleep on top of the covers. You can also lower your air conditioning use by closing blinds and keeping the sunlight out of your house. Make sure that you replace filters for the air conditioner regularly.
3. Unplug appliances: Unplug all those appliances that you don't use that often. This can save you a lot of money.
4. Replace old appliances: You would be suprised how much energy that your old furnace or refirgerator uses compared to the new products that you could buy today.  
5. Turn off lights: This is a typical thing that we all do. Its night time and every light in the house is on. When you leave a room, turn off the light. There is absolutely no reason to have every light on in the house!!!!
