Saving Energy By Safe And Feasible Ways

All of us can not deny the fact that energy is really important to our life

. We can no do any thing without energy because it is the foundation of everything you do; it is also the life to everything you have. So, do not think simply that energy is just the bill you have to pay each month. Today, people have to suffer the increasing cost of energy, it is the reason why we need to consider more how we use energy and have the way to limit our energy consumption. Saving energy is also the way we save our money, so we should always try to have more with less. It means that saving energy should be a must and all of us should seriously adapt.

Heating and cooling systems usually create almost half of your monthly electric bill, so you should consider the following things to do if you really want maximize your saving. First, you had better clean your air filters at least once a month because a dirty air filter will not work effectively and it consumes more energy for operating. Secondly, you should clean baseboard heaters, radiators and warm-air registers as regularly as possible. You need to be sure that they are operating in the right way and make sure that drapes, carpeting and furniture will not prevent them form working. Thirdly, you should adjust the temperature by the thermostat low or high depending on your feeling which is the most comfortable. Finally, you should turn off fans in the kitchen, bathroom and others about 20 minutes after cooking or bathing because they can also be exhaust when working for a long time and this can make impact on the temperature of the room.

Lighting and appliances can consume a lot of energy so you should use them properly and if possible, limit energy consumption for them. For example, you can use natural lights as much as possible by working near the windows to utilize the power of the sun instead of turning on the light and consuming energy. You can also save energy by turning off the lights every time you go out of the room, it is very necessary even if you just leave for a minute. A minute is not the considerable number but if 1 millions of people also leave their houses without turning off the lights, imagine the amount of energy we will waste in 1 millions of minutes. It is terrible.

When you do not use lights and appliances, you should switch off all of them. With unnecessary appliances like microwaves, television, stereos, computers and VCRs, you should unplug them. Leaving them on "stand by" mode will consume energy when plugged in. With laundry, you should wash your clothes cold because this will reduce energy consumption of washer up to 90%.

It is necessary for you to maintain your refrigerator and freezer in the right temperature and do not keep the refrigerator and freezer open because this consumes the large amount of energy. You should be sure that your refrigerator is completely sealed to maintain the temperature inside.

Insulation is also important to save energy as well as save money because if you insulate your house properly, you can save as much as 10% in monthly electric bill. You must make sure that your house is properly sealed and air can not escape or enter in any ways such as pipes, doors, walls, floors and ceilings.

In a typical monthly electric bill of a household, the power is distributed as following: 40% of energy from heating and cooling systems, 33% from lighting and other appliances, 14% from heating the water, and 9% for operating of refrigerators.

You can base on this energy distribution as a renewable energy solution to know exactly how you can save energy best.
