Every Kilowatt Counts Summer Sweepstakes has arrived!
Simply by turning up the thermostat on your air conditioner saves electricity and could make you a big winner!
Reducing your electricity consumption by just 10% is easier than you may think: there are countless daily opportunities to conserve that require just a small effort on your part. Why not try a few today?
Turn up your thermostat by 1 or 2 degrees; you'll hardly notice the difference between 23 and 25 Celsius.
Fight phantom power. Just unplug small devices - like your cell phone charger - when they're not in use. Put TVs, DVD players and computer switches on a power bar and simply flip the switch.
Use your clothesline. Your dryer uses a lot of electricity but the sun and the wind are free! Plus, you'll enjoy fresh smelling clothes.
Set a spa or pool pump timer. You need to run the pump for your unheated or electrically heated above-ground pool or spa only 12 hours a day to keep the water sparkling clean.
Get rid of that old second fridge. A fridge 10 years or older is up to 3 times less efficient than today's models. To make things easier, we'll take your working fridge away for free! Visit www.everykilowattcounts.com/roundup for full details.
