Tips to maintain home temperature
The major portion of our electricity bill comes from the usage of heating or cooling appliances. Air conditioners are used for upholding your prestige. This is heavily energy consuming one. A ceiling fan is a good and efficient replacement for an air conditioner. If we only like using air conditioners, its filters should be replaced periodically to maintain its efficiency. Usage of a programmable thermostat will be helpful. It will take care of appliances by turning it off automatically if there is no need of it. Also we can try replacing electric furnaces by wood furnace in order to heat up your house.
Responsible usage of electronic appliances
A major portion of our electricity bill raise is because of our careless handling of electronic appliances. Computer and television are the most used appliances in our living area. Grow the habit of shutting down the computer if it is not in use. If we should keep the computer for a long time by not using it directly, you should try to keep at least the monitors off. Also we have a habit of keeping the chargers of computers, television and mobile phones switched on in the plug boards. They consume energy even if they are not in use. Replacing desktop computers by laptop computer is also a good idea. This is because the latter will consume a lesser energy than the former.
Also while washing your clothes, try to do it efficiently. Most of the families are small ones one. Avoid washing daily with few clothes on the wash tub of a washing machine. You can wait until the tub is full because a full load washing will save water and energy usage of the appliance. Also switch energy from the present supplier if you need so.
