The cost of electricity is seemingly constantly on the rise, and to help keep your electricity bills under control, you must try to conserve and use energy/electricity more efficiently. Here are our top 10 energy conservation tips for 2012:
- Use compact fluorescent bulbs
- Don’t open and close your refrigerator too often
- Cool hot foods on your counter before placing them inside your refrigerator
- Don’t place your refrigerator near a heat source (such as a dryer or stove)
- Iron clothing only once per week in batches
- Switch off appliances (television sets, DVD players, radios etc.) when not in use
- Unplug products that are not in use and don’t need to be plugged in (e.g. cell phone chargers)
- Where possible, use a fan instead of air conditioning
- Keep the volume of your audio equipment in check – the louder the volume, the more energy used
- Hang and air dry your clothes instead of using an electric dryer
