5 lessor known electricity saving tips

April 3, 2008 by Marc --- Categories: Environment
  1. Pool filters - cut the hours by half in winter. Keep it clean, filter less.
  2. Second fridges -keep the grill dust free and don’t cool to much beer and soft drink.
  3. Oil column heaters - these devices are glacier melters. If you have a couple of these think about an alternative.
  4. Leaving your computer on 24×7 - this takes down a lot more electricity over a year than I realised. In reflection, a computer should only take a minute to boot and the fresh boot feeling should pick you up those lost seconds.
  5. Electric hot water - this is one of the biggest and most ignored. Lower your hot water temperature setting. If you always need to add a lot of cold to your hot bath then it’s too hot. Change to off-peak if you haven’t already. Better still, supplement/convert to solar.
