These tips
are designed to help you choose effective ways to reduce your energy bills.
Some measures may not be relevant depending on climate, the age of your home
and appliances, and past improvements made to your home. The savings numbers
are based on your total summer electric bill. Equipment mentioned must be
electric powered for estimates to be accurate. The average home spends about
$1,900 a year on energy costs. But you can lower your energy bills and help
save the environment at the same time.
Be a speedy
chef
Nothing is
more energy efficient for cooking than your microwave. It uses two-thirds less
energy than your stove.
Push a
button to wash your dishes
Surprise!
Your dishwasher uses less water than washing dishes by hand. Then let dishes
air-dry to save even more!
Fill up the
fridge
Having lots
of food in your fridge keeps it from warming up too fast when the door is open.
So your fridge doesn't have to work as hard to stay cool.
