All who know me well, know that I am trying to save the environment & so far it is me against the world. The a one woman show...LOL. Now that I am moving into my own place I thought it best to do all the things I can to go green & save me some money. I went to the OUC website and there are amazing ways to save energy & water.
The winning number is . . . 78
To keep cool during summer's heat, set your air conditioning thermostat at 78 degrees. When you leave your house, turn it up a few notches to 85 degrees or higher and plan on a savings of 6-8 percent for each degree you raise the setting. In the winter, set your thermostat at 68 degrees. (Air conditioning and heating account for more than 50 percent of the electric bill!)
Breezy does it
Installing ceiling fans throughout your home will help you stay comfortably cool. In fact, you could raise your thermostat several degrees and not feel the difference. Turn fans off in unoccupied areas.
