GOOD ENERGY USE PRACTICES
Taking energy to heart.
Turn bad habits into
good savings.
BREAKING A FEW OF THESE BAD ENERGY HABITS CAN
SAVE YOU ENERGY...AND MONEY...IN YOUR HOME.
Do you stand in front of an open fridge?
People waste about 10 hours a year looking into an open fridge.
Are you changing your air filters regularly?
Just think of all of the dust that you are breathing in while wasting energy.
Do you let phantom energy play on your gaming system?
Even when not being used, gaming systems that are plugged in are still costing you.
Are you sleeping with the TV on?
This wasteful nightly routine is costing you about $40 a year. Use a sleep timer to
reduce the hours the TV is on.
Are you using incandescent bulbs?
Replacing these with CFLs will save about $30 a year.
Do you leave fans on in empty rooms?
Fans are for cooling people not rooms.
Do you leave the lights on when you are not in the room?
Turning them off is as easy as turning them on.
Do you program your programmable thermostat?
No? You could be saving about $150 a year if you did.
Are you using a space heater?
Using it continually could be costing you $90 a month.
Do you keep the charger for your mobile devices plugged
in to the wall after they are fully charged?
Once fully charged, you are only wasting energy and adding to your electric bill.
