Saving Electricity

December 29th, 2004 at 06:05 pm

I have come down another 5 kwh yesterday for a total of 16 daily now!

Things I have done so far:
~unplug things when not in use
~line dry all but 2 loads of laundry in the last 2 days (total of 8 loads done)
~wash everything but one load of whites in cold, white were washed in hot.
~stopped using the dishwasher - washing dishes by hand
~keep heat off or when it is on set it at 68

Ways I will continue to work on the electric use going down are:
~resetting the hot water heater timer - we already have one on there, we just don't have it running at this time. I was actually trying an experiment.
~continue doing all the above
~cook using the crockpot more


**Something that I tried last night - I left the computer on all night, in sleep mode and the kwh actually went down. So I am gonna do that again tonight and see what happens. Could it actually be cheaper to put the computer in sleep mode versus turning it off?!?! I didn't think so , but now not sure.
