GREENING YOUR ELECTRICITY

Electricity is both financially and environmentally costly. By greening our electrical consumption, we can lighten the impact to our wallets and to our planet. 

The following are tips that can provide a positive difference:

1) Unplug electronics that sleep on a standby setting. Standby settings continue to pull a current.

2) Keep your house cool by moving air through the house with a ceiling fan, instead of air conditioning.

3) Use compact fluorescent bulbs ... energy saving bulbs. 

    The simple act of switching your bulbs can have a powerful, positive, impact on our environment.

4) Your lighting may be dimmed by dust. Keep your bulbs and fixtures free from dust and your wattage need may decrease.

5) Inventory your home energy usage with a Home Energy Audit.
