Power-saving changes are easy! We've put together a list of the top tips that will help you save power, save money and help protect the environment.
The wattage rating tells how much electricity a bulb uses, not how bright it is. Compact fluorescent light bulbs are a bright idea. They use less electricity and last up to 10 times longer than incandescent bulbs. ENERGY STAR® labelled compact fluorescent light bulbs use 75 percent less energy than incandescent bulbs. One 100-watt incandescent bulb produces the same amount of light as two 60-watt bulbs and uses less energy. Cleaning light fixtures regularly removes dust buildup and allows for maximum light output.
Since up to 25 per cent of heat loss is through windows, plastic window covers can help reduce drafts. They can be purchased at most hardware stores.
Reduce the temperature on your thermostat when you’re not at home and overnight. Many new thermostats can be programmed to change the temperature automatically.
Replace incandescent bulbs with energy-efficient compact fluorescent bulbs, which are four times more efficient and last about eight times as long.
