With Canada's warn summers and cold winters, an energy efficient house is a welcome escape. Indoor home comfort, low energy bills and protection of the environment are just a few benefits that come from efficient use of energy at home. Here are a few tips you can use to reduce your home energy costs:
TIP 1: By installing a programable thermostat, you can save 2% on your heating/cooling bill for every 1oC you lower the thermostat. TIP 2: Setting the thermostat of your room air conditioner at 25oC provides the most comfort for the least cost. TIP 3: Gas barbecues save energy during hot weather, when indoor cooking can heat up your home and increase air conditioning needs. TIP 4: Outdoor lights with motion sensors operate only when they detect movement, providing home security as well as energy savings.
