We’ve all read those articles about saving on your energy bill…You just need to buy a BRAND NEW washer, dryer AND dishwasher. OR, you need to go around your house each night and turn off all the phantom electricity. Phantom electricity culprits include anything that stays on when you turn it off but leave it plugged in. Examples are things like microwave ovens, coffee makers, the cable box and the computer. What those articles generally don’t address is how inconvenient it is to turn them all on again. It’s not hard to hit the “on” button, but isn’t so easy when you have to re-set the clock to get the coffee maker to work and boot up the computer to get to the emails you need to know about before you walk into your job – all when you have about 30 seconds before having to leave the house for work in the morning.
Well, there really is a better way to get started saving on electricity…Change from old fashioned light bulbs to the new CFL or LCD light bulbs. You’ll be amazed at the difference in your electricity bill just a month after you install the new bulbs. The retail cost of the new light bulbs is less now than it ever has been.
I hope you find this information helpful! How do you save money on electricity at your home?
