Energy Tips
As the cost of energy
goes up, more and more people are looking
for ways to control their energy use. The
best way to do this is first to be aware of
how much energy you use each month and how
it is being used in your home or business.
The Department of
Energy notes that in an average all-electric
home, the electricity usage is as follows:
Space Heating and
Cooling – 39.4%
Water Heating – 12.5%
Lighting – 11.6%
Electronics – 8.1%
Refrigeration – 7.2%
Clothes washer, dryer,
dishwasher – 6.2%
Cooking – 4.7%
Computers – 1%
Other – 9.3%
| You can reduce your
energy use in these areas and have a more
energy-efficient home. |
