Arnold's Electric Tips

Save Money on Electricity

Though you can't change the fact that electricity is a utility you have to pay for (unless you harvest it through personal solar panels and wind turbines), you can regulate how much you use. With these easy money/energy-saving tips, you'll reduce the amount of energy you needlessly waste while increasing the amount of money you keep in your pocket:

Light

Install motion sensors so lights are never left on by mistake
Utilize energy-saving light bulbs - compact florescent or LED - instead of incandescent
Strategically place fixtures and lamps to adequately light a room; more light is not always better

Bath/attic fans

Install timers to assure these fans are never left on by mistake

Furnace

Maintain a clean furnace - change filters regularly to assure it runs at top performance

Refrigerator

Vacuum under the fridge to keep its refrigeration process operating at peak efficiency

Air Conditioner

Keep areas around the air conditioner clear to allow more air to be cycled through the motor, ensuring it won't get stressed by such obstacles
