Saving Electricity

Here are Some Tips for Saving Electricity in the Living Room:

* Install ceiling insulation.
* Keep curtains closed. This prevents heat loss in the winter and heat gain in the summer.
* Close off unheated areas.
* Don't overheat the room. Increasing the thermostat by 1 degree can increase costs by 3 percent.
* Clean heating and air-conditioner filters regularly.
* Dress appropriately.
* Choose energy-efficient appliances. Compare energy rating labels before you buy.
* Turn off appliances when you aren't using them. * Remove dust and fluff from the fan and reflective surfaces of heater to keep clean, efficient and safe.
