Save Energy, Save Money: Practical Tips

By:


Everyone is looking for ways to cut electricity costs. Electric bills are soaring all over the country for both heating and cooling of homes. Everyone groans about the electricity bill, but there are so many sneaky energy-wasters out there. See how many of these your family is guilty of:

Do you?

Open the refrigerator door often, just to see whats in there? Stop doing this. It makes the fridge work harder to replace the chilled air, raising energy costs.

Make your home cool enough in summer that you need a sweater inside? You arent raw meat; dont turn the A/C down so low. Raising the temp inside your home in summer so that you need a T-shirt, and turning on the ceiling fan will save you money in the long run.

Make your home so hot in the winter that everyone is stripped down to a T-shirt? You dont need to live in a sauna. Turn the thermostat down and wear a sweater. Youll save money.

Take deep, hot baths daily? Take long hot showers daily? Transform your point of view. Showers and baths are for getting clean. A long, deep bath or long hot shower should be an occasional luxury. Youll save on electricity and water bills this way.

There are many ways to save on electricity bills. You can also build your own source of electricity with magnets, or have solar panels installed in your home. There are wonderful guides available online for this purpose, as well as in your local hardware store. The easiest and most reliable homemade power source is a magnetic generator.

There are great guides available on the subject for free online, or in your local hardware store. The materials are easily obtainable, and the generator is no more difficult to build than a middle-school science project. With a properly built magnetic generator, you could stop paying power bills altogether. This method is also cheaper than building/buying solar panels, and there are no worries about location. With solar panels, you have to be sure they are placed in a sunny spot. Magnetic generators make their own power with the magnets, not the sun or the wind, and they are earth-friendly. You can save a lot on power bills, with practical things like turning things you arent using off, and possibly building your own generator.
