How to Help the Environment and Reduce Your Electricity Bill
When you save energy at home you get to help the
environment, you set an example for your child on how simple actions
can make a huge difference and the BEST part is that you save money on
your electricity bill.
With the world heading towards energy crisis, increasing demand of
energy exceeds its supply and high electricity prices, it's our
responsibility to take an action. It's time to save energy and the best
place to start is at home.
There are some very simple actions you can take; all you need
is the desire to do so and by that set an example for your kids so that
they will follow your footsteps.
Here are some of the ideas you can use at home to reduce your
electricity bill:
Switch off the lights when you're out of the room.
Kids tend to go around the house and switch all the lights, they go
from one room to another and they leave the lights on. Talk to them
about that and make them understand the importance of switching the
lights off when they leave the room even for one minute.
Change to compact fluorescent light bulbs.
Make some smart power investments by replacing your incandescent bulbs
with compact fluorescent light (CFL) bulbs. These bulbs are great
power-saving.
Initiate smart home appliance usage:
- Minimize the number of washes by washing full load of
clothes
every time.
- Try to avoid using the dryer machine, hang your laundry to
dry out in the sun.
- Keep the monitor and the computer switched off when you are
not using them.
- Turn off the TV/ DVD when you're not using them, the
standby
mode keep consuming electricity.
- Set the temperature of your air conditioner at the minimum
or
maximum best you are comfortable with, it helps save a lot of energy.
- Keep the geyser thermostat at the minimum heat. You do not
need to heat the water at a very high temperature or for too long.
- Bring hot food to room temperatures before putting it into
the refrigerator. You can also save power by taking cold or frozen food
out of the refrigerator much before the mealtime, thereby saving power
in heating it.
Go solar.
There are many wonderful solar
alternatives you can use at home, from solar light bulbs to solar
heating and cooling systems. I live in Israel where we have sun 360
days a year thus solar power is a must have here. For years we are
using the solar water heating system which saves us hundreds of dollars
of our electricity bill.
