Ways to Save Electricity at Home

Energy from the sun can be harnessed by building solar panels on top of roofs. Solar panels will be able to capture the sun's energy and convert it to electric power for home use like drying of clothes and running of appliances.

With this system, I only draw electricity from the grid when there is not enough sun energy to for my solar panels to generate sufficient electricity. Other homeowners have reported that their system consistently generates enough electric power to run their house. Wind energy, on the other hand, is harnessed by building turbines. They capture wind's kinetic energy to convert it to electricity.

Switch to energy efficient light bulbs. These bulbs do not look like traditional light bulbs in appearance. They put out different light; they are brighter, use less power and last longer. They are also environmentally friendly.

Turn off you laptop or PC when you leave the house. Get in a habit. Regular do a hard drive clean so you laptop boots up faster and use less energy. This might sound small but over many days, week, years it makes a difference.

Do the washing once a week. Try not to do 2-3 smaller loads as each time you use the washing machine it uses the same power to start it and run it.

This one is big one. Try not to use air-condition in the house. This can triple you utility bill easily. Instead open and air rate the house. Use small fans. I know it tough but air-conditioning in summer sky rockets your bill.
