At my house, for exampleI use Spot Led lights that are powered by 2032 coin cell batteries, instead of high wattage bulbsI utilise solar battery chargers for mp3 player, palm pilots, cell phonesI use a car charger for my car batteryJust by learning how to balence the fluid, I can refurb the battery with out harming the enviormentOr turning the battery in and pay the disposal fee.I have also put all of my quot;instant onquot; tv's, vcrs, and all electronics on on surge suppressors and turn the off switch to 0, when not in useI'm posting this to get newer ideas from other people, and maybe inspire them to use what i useNo politics here, just quot;What are you doing to cut down on your electric bill?
Get TAP Attic Insulation, Google, you will find it to be self explanatoryExcellent product, so happy I chose this particular brandI have yet to turn on my air, because it makes that much of a differenceThey give you a certificate that can be filed with your taxes, which allows a tax credit, dollar for dollar at 10% off of the total costGet 1-2 Oscillating Stand up FansIf you face them towards a window, it will suck hot air out of the room and create a draft, on a hot dayGoogle, Power Saver 1200, my electric bill has been reduced $17 for the last two monthsIf you close one window and open another, it increases air velocity with a fan that is turned inward towards the roomCeiling fans are great to have in the mixTake a cool shower, or cool bathIf you have a washer and dryer, dry larger loadsOpen windows at night, if not humid outsideThe night air will cool your residence down, by morningAs earlier mentioned, flourescent lights make a notiecable differenceAgain, under the current tax system, if you install a ceiling fan and keep the receipt and keep your receipt for the flourescent lights, it too qualifies towards a tax credit no more than $500.00 reported to the FedNow this is an old, old grandma technique, but it still worksIf you have a table fan, put ice in a large bowl and set it in front of the fan on the highest settingThe air will blow coolerAs the ice melts you will get a cool mist blown in your directonTry itLast but not least, be sure you know how to read your electric bill, if you have a question call the electric company and schedule someone to come out and read your meterThen have them show youThis way you know how to hold them accountable and better understand how you are spending your money for electrcityMy bill is $60-to$82 without the use of an air conditionerWhen you turn on your computer, I hope this helpslol.
Throw in all the things that you likethis way, you dont have to pick around the ones you dont likeBE CREATIVE.
I just use dry-roasted peanuts almonds, with dried tropical fruit bitsI prefer Craisins or white raisins, rather than the dark onesIn the winter, I'll add yogurt or chocolate-covered raisins (but they get too melty in summer).
