Ten Ways to Conserve Energy in the Home
Posted in Uncategorized, 12:00 amThere are many ways to conserve energy in the home. Below are ten of them.
1. If there are ceiling fans in your home, turn them on. Usage cost is very little and can help the room feel several degrees cooler in the summer and several degrees warmer in the winter. This will allow you to comfortably raise your air conditioning setting and lower your heat setting.
2. Place plastic tinted film on windows in the summer. This will help block the sun from shinning through and heating up the rooms. Remove in the winter so the sun can help keep the rooms warm.
3. Use rugs on hardwood floors so your feet do not make you feel colder in the winter.
4. In the winter, wear a sweater and lower the heat setting by a few degrees.
5. Have a summer vegetable garden. Save money and trips to the store.
6. Eat more raw vegetables, instead of cooking them.
7. Cook foods that can be eaten cold after they are left over. Foods like potato salad do not need reheating.
8. When taking a bath, use a third less water.
9. Time how long you shower. Then, cut the time down by several minutes.
10. Do not leave the water running while bushing your teeth.
