In the quest to save our planet and prevent global warming it seems that everyone is going green nowadays. The newspapers and magazines are full of articles about saving electricity, climate change and global warming. If we all do our little bit for the environment, many of those little steps will make our lives better and the future brighter for our children.

There is a lot you can do to cut back on your household’s electricity consumption. Small things like switching off lights and unplugging appliances when you are not using them. In winter you can make sure that all the windows and doors are kept closed to keep in the heat while heaters are working. The same goes for the air conditioner in the summer to keep the house cool.

To really drive your electricity bill down even further there are tactics and technologies that can make a difference. Using solar powered water heaters will reduce your consumption considerably. Geysers are the biggest energy gobblers and are responsible for one third of your electricity bill. Solar water heaters can retain heat for long periods of time. The good news is that you will cover your investment within seven years.

If you do not have the cash to install a solar water heater there are measures that you can take to manage your geyser. Switch off your geyser between 06:00 and 18:00 everyday and remember to do switch off when you go on vacation. Turn the thermostat down to sixty degrees. Insulating the geyser and pipes will help to reduce heat loss.

There are energy and water saving shower heads that flow at a rate of less than ten liters per minute. The old type operates at fifteen liters per minute so the saving is huge. They aerate the water or channel it into streams to give you a good spray from the shower head.

Lighting is responsible for twenty percent of all household electricity consumption. There is a world wide campaign towards more energy efficient lighting. Compact Fluorescent Lamps use twenty percent of the energy used to power incandescent bulbs and they produce the same amount of light. They also last six times longer than the conventional type.

You can make a difference to the global warming effect, so get smart about how you use electricity around the home. Lighten the load on your pocket and conserve the earth’s precious energy resources. It is now more important than ever to find the best solution to the energy problems for the future generations to come.
