Energy friendly and wallet friendly
Does the electricity bill give you the shudders every time you think about it? Here are some helpful tips to cut back on the losses that could be used for other utilities.
a) Energy Star compliant/rated equipment can cut back on the huge amounts of electricity older appliances used to guzzle up, saving you a huge amount in terms of energy consumed.
b) Keep your faucets and other water fixtures in tip-top shape to minimize waste. The slower the meter goes, the less you’ll have to pay. Sure turning that on full blast makes the job easier, but it also costs more than it should with a lot of water wasted. Spend a bit more time and save some more money with slower washing.
c) Replace light bulbs with energy efficient ones. LEDs are brighter, last longer, and consume less power than even CFL’s do.
