You pay your electric bill every month, but what exactly are you paying for? It turns out, quite a lot. Here's what you can do with just a single dollar's worth of electricity.
Getting more for your energy dollar
As you can see, you get a lot for your energy dollar. Looking to stretch those dollars even further? Here are some quick tips:
- Install LED bulbs throughout your home. They use 75 percent less energy than standard bulbs and last much longer.
- Unplug chargers when your devices are fully charged. Chargers continue to use energy, even when they're not charging anything.
- Heat small portions in the microwave whenever possible; it's much more efficient than firing up the range.
- Adjust room temperatures to save energy when you're not at home. Wi-Fi enabled thermostats optimize savings and add convenience.
When replacing appliances or electronic devices, purchase ENERGY STAR® certified products. ENERGY STAR devices use less energy than standard models.
