To lower the electricity bill of your Santa Barbara home , you can do several things For example, you can switch to compact fluorescent bulbs in lamps that are on for over two hours per day. Fluorescent bulbs are 6-8 times more energy effective than ordinary bulbs and will endure 10-20 times longer.
Unplug equipment such as stereos or toster ovens when they are not in use. Even if they are not turned on, they will continue to use up some power. While heating up smaller items that don't need to be pre-heated, use an energy efficient microwave or toaster oven.
Switch your computer off or on to "standby" mode when you are finished. You might reduce the price of operating a computer by 85 percent by using a laptop rather than a desktop. Turn your fridge to 38-40 degrees Fahrenheit and don't open the door often or for very long.
Lastly, wash your clothes in cold water, only use the dryer for full loads, and when you can, line dry. By beginning with these little steps, you will be able to cut back on your CO2 emissions and save money on your bills.
