When buying new appliances check the energy rating. The more stars, the more efficient the appliance is. Save energy when you are cooking by keeping the lid on saucepans. Thaw frozen foods before cooking and you will save energy and cooking time. When it is raining dry your clothes on an inside clothes rack under a ceiling fan.
Fans are cheaper than clothes driers.
Light dimmer switches are great for setting the mood, and they also save energy. There are various types of air conditioners on the market. By choosing the right sized, energy efficient air conditioner you can save money on its operating costs. There are two different energy rating labels used for air conditioners. One label is for air conditioners that provide cooling only and the other label is for air conditioners that provide heating as well as cooling.
