Easy to Use Less Energy

Posted by: Energy Admin In: Energy Tips

Home Energy Management

The easiest way to save energy is to use less of it. Consider turning your home into a Smart House.  Motion detector light switches are perfect in bathrooms, kitchens, and laundry rooms. Occupancy sensors offer hands free convenience and the assurance that lights will never be left on. Eliminate phantom loads from cell phone chargers, stereos, coffee makers and microwaves by using “smart” power strips. These power strips can sense when appliances are in not use and automatically shut them off until needed.

Not sure how much energy a specific appliance draws? Energy monitors can track the energy use of every appliance in your home, showing cost in dollars and kilowatts. Programmable thermostats turn down the heat when the house is unoccupied or when the homeowners are sleeping. Electric timers can keep energy consumption from getting out of control. Now it’s easier than ever to use less energy.
