Energy Saving Tips
Nowadays, paying bills is the big burden that we have every month. It is not easy to go budgeting since sometimes we cannot control our usage of energy. Today, you can make a difference in saving energy and saving money.
In saving energy, you are also helping to save the planet. Every year we are supporting a movement organized by World Wide Fund for Nature, this is called Earth Hour. This event is being supported by 187 countries and 7,000 cities. Usually, this will fall on the last Saturday of March and it will run for 1 hour. All participants will be required to turn off their electricity from 8:30 PM to 9:30 PM local time. Originally it was started in Sydney, Australia called Lights-off event. Since then many countries and cities discovered it and understand the importance of saving energy and how it helps in saving our planet from pollution and radiation.
Even though you were not able to join the Earth Hour this year, you can still contribute in saving Mother Earth by just following these steps in Energy Saving Tips.
When Buying New Appliances
In buying new appliances, take time in reading the features and the electricity consumption. Most appliance center is already posting the details in front of the appliances.
Make it as habit in checking it before buying the appliances. Because you will be the one who will benefit from it in the future. You will get to save a lot of money because it will not consume too much energy.
From Light Bulb to LED
It is better to change all your bulbs from Light Bulb to LED because it is not eating too much electricity. Another reason to switch to LED, it doesn’t contain mercury but it is producing the same light as light bulb. Also LEDs has longer life span than any other light bulbs even though it is expensive at first but in the long run you will see the difference in your electricity bill.
Refrigerator and Freezer
This appliance operates most efficiently when full, that is why you need to keep your refrigerator and freezer as full as possible. At night, you can also unplug it and plug it back during day time. Also, follow manufacturer’s recommendation in temperature to avoid excessive cooling and waste of energy.
Turn off Computer
Don’t leave your computer all day long. Turn it off when you are not using it.
CLEANING FILTERS
Make it as a habit to clean or change your filters. A dirty filter is making your system work harder and it will run much longer.
Natural Light from the Sun
During day time, try using natural light. Open your windows let the brightness of the sun be your light.
DISHWASHER
Limit your usage of dishwasher. It is much better to use dishwasher if you have plenty utensils that you need to wash.
MICROWAVES
If it’s possible to use microwave in cooking, use it. You save more electricity consumption in using it.
WATER HEATER
If you have any plans of going out of town, turn of your water heater. Some of the new models will automatically reheat the water to the set temperature.
AIR DRY CLOTHES
If the sun is out, take advantage of it. Use clothes dryer during winter or rainy season.

Life Span of your Appliances
Abused appliances didn’t last long, especially when you are not using it and they are still plug to the socket. Air conditioner is the most abused piece especially during summer time. Give your appliance time to rest and clean them from time to time.
Why is it important to save Energy?
Admit it some us didn’t care in saving energy because what important to use is to have a comfortable home where you and your family can relax.
You will just realize to save energy when you see your electricity bill and it already hurt your bank account. You lost track on your budget because again you don’t care at all. After experiencing of paying an out of budget bills that is the time that you will realize the importance of saving energy.
Imagine this, if you are paying $500 for electricity bill monthly because you are not saving energy at home. After a year you realize the importance of saving energy, your electricity bill went down to $300. You are already saving $200 a month and that is $2,400 for a year. Imagine how much money you can save, if you already did it from the start?
It is not just about saving money, but you also help save our Mother Earth for getting too polluted. You are actually hitting two-birds in one stone.
I believe in this quote from Chip Gabriel, President of Development Generation LLC “All of these energy savings ultimately mean better service to our residents that have fixed incomes. Every penny we save in energy costs will go directly into providing services for our seniors”.
It is really hard to suddenly switch to being green. It’s like you need to monitor everything in the house. From the appliances and if you have dirty filters, you need to make sure that everything is working smoothly. But after doing it, you will realize how helpful it is in saving energy.
