Energy Savings Tips

Every home is a complex energy system-from hot water and air conditioning, to cooking, lighting, heating, refrigeration and entertainment. Energy management-the efficient use of energy-is often the result (or part) of sound energy conversation practices. But conversation alone does not always reflect good energy management, especially where electricity is concerned. Because alternating current (AC) electricity can’t be stored, the time it is used becomes important. For example, using electricity during off-peak hours does not conserve electricity, but is a wise management of this energy resource. According to the U.S. Counsel for Energy Awareness, the average family spends between $2,000 to $4,000 each year directly for energy. By applying the following energy guidelines and appliance-use tips, you could easily save big bucks annually.
