Where Your Energy Consumption Goes Infographic & 10 Tips to Save Energy

November 16, 2011 by Momstart 19 Comments

So What should you do?

 

10 Tips to Save Energy Today – Easy low-cost and no-cost ways to save energy and money.

1. Install a programmable thermostat to keep your house comfortably warm in the winter and comfortably cool in the summer.

2. Use energy efficient light bulbs with the ENERGY STAR® label.

3. Air dry dishes instead of using your dishwasher’s drying cycle.

4. Turn off your computer and monitor when not in use.

5. Plug home electronics, such as TVs and DVD players, into power strips; turn the power strips off when the equipment is not in use (TVs and DVDs in standby mode still use several watts of power).

6. Lower the thermostat on your hot water heater to 120°F.

7. Take short showers instead of baths.

8. Wash only full loads of dishes and clothes.

9. Caulk, seal, and weather strip all seams, cracks, and openings to the outside. 

10. Look for the ENERGY STAR® label on home appliances and products. ENERGY STAR® products meet strict efficiency guidelines set by the U.S. Department of Energy and the Environmental Protection Agency.

    Wow! I always wanted an aquarium, now I don’t seeing how much electricity it uses. It would probably be more than what is stated above for us, since we live in California’s highest energy cost area.

    Great Energy Chart! I am surprised, though, at the yearly cost of a portable heater. I thought that would be much higher!

    Interesting. I presume a freezer would be similar to a refrigerator on this chart.
