SAVING ON ELECTRICITY

SAVING ON ELECTRICITY

From the Article "Frugal Heating Tips And Energy Saving Ideas"

Electricity - These days everything seems to need to be plugged in, I personally try to stay away from unnecessary electrical equipment like digital clocks and fake flame effect fires. Here is some of the best frugal heating tips and other electrical reducing ideas I have come across and use every day in my own home.

    * Only boil enough water in the kettle that is required.

    * Use energy saving light bulbs wherever possible, they are even available as day light bulbs that I find a much brighter light.

    * Turn off electrical equipment when not in use and do not leave them on their standby function.

    * Turn lights off when the room is empty

    * Clean behind refrigerators regularly to keep the cooling elements clear of dust. This makes them far more efficient.

Check out this great ebook about how you can save money on your fuel bills by generating your your own power, I believe the ebook also comes with a FREE book about biodegradable fule for your car too. Could be worth a look. Click Here!

 MY THOUGHTS

what about charging in the car?  while the car is in motion, of course.  i don't know if it has any effect on the car batteries?

The Laundry - Washing machines are one of the most expensive items to run, especially if you have a large family and need to do large quantities of washing every week. However, by using the machine wisely and in a more frugal way you can reduce the costs quite considerably:

    * Always wash a full load if possible.

    * Choose the half load option on the machine when washing a small amount of washing.

    * Turn down the temperature of the wash. Washing at 30 degrees rather than 40 will still wash your clothes and will mean that less energy is required to heat the water.

MY THOUGHTS

never thought about this saving tips. i should check on the 'half load option'.  i don't even know if the washing machine has temperature settings.

Whilst finding frugal heating tips around my house to help me save on those horrible utility bills, I came across other energy saving ideas which over time would also help to reduce my expenditure.

I was amazed at just how many little ways there were to make the home more economical.

Here are my frugal heating tips and other energy saving suggestions to help reduce that awful feeling of dread every time you have to open your latest utility bill.

New Equipment - When buying new household items such as washing machines, refrigerators and cookers always make sure that you buy energy efficient one. Usually they are graded A - E depending on how much energy they use, with A being the most efficient.

They may cost a little more to buy initially than the less efficient ones but considering how long you will be using the equipment just imagine how much your savings could be over time.
