How to Lower My Energy Bill
Posted by Admin in Reduce Energy Usage on July 28th, 2010
If coping with energy bill is your problem every time you see your bills, here are several ways you can start implementing to lower your energy bill. First, I want to say that doing all the recommended actions below will certainly lower your energy bill – however, in this busy world, there is a low cost energy reduction solution that’s more practical (turnkey) and does not require you to change your lifestyle drastically. You can see for yourself here: http://www.ultrapowersaver.com
Having said that, here are some of our recommended actions to lower your energy bill:
1) Provide good roof coating.
A good roof coating deflects heat. And so, insuring that the roof receives a good coating would mean insuring you that your house would maintain good temperature on the inside.
2) Secure all the leaks.
Leaks contribute to high cost of home energy. Why? It is because air from your house can easily come out from these leaks. And the air from the outside can easily enter the house. Both increase the workload of your heating and cooling system.
Making sure that the leaks are sealed would mean less work on your heating and cooling system and lower energy bills. Leaks would come from fireplaces, ducts, doors, ceilings, floors, walls, windows, plumbing penetrations, electrical outlets, fans, and vents.
3) Reduce the thermostat.
One degree centigrade is equivalent to 5% electric bill savings. Therefore, keeping your thermostat low will save you a lot of money. A total saving would also come from switching your thermostat further low when you are not home or if you are sleeping. The ideal temperature during winter is not higher than 68 degrees Fahrenheit.
Are you a person who is interested in green energy and using Solar Energy Panels or creating your own Home Wind Power, then you are just like myself. I have had a keen interest in green energy every since I studied Architecture many many years ago. At that time I learned that is was possible to build homes that are completely self sufficient which was so compelling to me I had to know more.
4) Reduce the use of your water heater.
The second largest electric consumer next to your heating and cooling system is your water heater. When you wash you clothes, you don’t need to heat the water up. Just use the water from the faucet. This will save you by as much as 90% in washing machine energy consumption.
5) Use energy efficient material around your home.
There are commercially available materials that would significantly contribute to the reduction of the cost of home energy. One of these is energy efficient windows (i.e. dual pane window) that deflect the outside temperature (whether during winter or summer) from entering your home.
6) Use your appliance efficiently.
It is pretty basic for all of us to turn off televisions, air conditioning, stereos and other electronic gadgets when not using them. However, most still disregard this. The reality is; we can save a lot if we only learn how to turn them off if not in use. Also, small things such as iPod chargers, cellphone chargers, digital clocks, lights and other things that seem to consume small electric current that remain plugged day in and day out contribute to your energy bill. Making sure you unplug them would certainly lower down your monthly electric consumption.
Hope this helps!

What are the best ways to reduce energy usage in my life and home?
Posted by Admin in Reduce Energy Usage on July 17th, 2010
How can this be done without drastically reducing our comfort level and lifestyle?
Thank you everyone. I wish I could give credit for more than one best answer.
There are many things that you can do to reduce energy use without going without certain luxuries! Here are some idea’s I had:
~Buy energy saving light bulbs
~Use reusable batteries or recycle dead batteries properly
~Take shorter showers
~Turn off lights whenever possible
~Use cold water to wash clothes (Tide Cold water works great)
~On a nice day, turn off the air/heat and open some windows. You save of the cost, get a nice fresh breeze, and help the environment.
Are you a person who is interested in green energy and using Solar Energy Panels or creating your own Home Wind Power, then you are just like myself. I have had a keen interest in green energy every since I studied Architecture many many years ago. At that time I learned that is was possible to build homes that are completely self sufficient which was so compelling to me I had to know more.
~Plant trees around your house to shade and save on using more air conditioning
~Change the setting on your sprinklers to use less water
~Maybe one night a week or so you could try not to use lights and just use candles, it makes the rooms in the house smell great!
~Walk or ride a bike wherever possible
~Carpool if possible
That is all I can think of, but you can also get some tips at www.gogreen.com Good luck

654,587,332,126 kilowatt hours were used in May of 2010.
SerraGlaze – harvesting daylight to reduce energy consumption
Posted by Admin in Reduce Energy Usage on June 18th, 2010
SerraGlaze is a new window glazing idea to redirect daylight up on to the ceiling of a room to reduce the rquirement of artifical lighting. This is a clean technology product idea. Additional benifits include reduced air conditioning energy requirements as infra red is also redirected to the ceiling where the heat stays and the occupants of the room feel cooler, reduced glare and because of the material used UV is almost irradicated – a health benefit and also virtually elimates fading of pictures, textiles etc.

have you completed your daily 30 % energy usage reduction plan yet?
Posted by Admin in Reduce Energy Usage on June 18th, 2010
Obama has shut down 30% of americas daily energy production with this drilling moratorium. so if every citizen doesn’t reduce their daily energy usage by 30% that is money we are sending to foreign countries to buy their energy. One accident should not shut down an industry for 6 months, especially when the government agency who is in charge of policing it failed.
check agaon Jacques, the company i work for is shut in,, 57,000 barrels a day, just like all the others. dont beleive everything obaba administration tells you
Yes. I slept in longer than usual this morning.
