Great Tips for Saving Monergy Around Your Home By: Jonathan Bille  |
| |
 In today’s world, energy use equals money, signified by the new term, monergy. We just can’t go on the way we used to not considering what our energy use will cost us. Every step we make to conserve energy use directly translates into more money in our pockets. With that said, consider some of the following suggestions to help save more monergy around your home.
• Hang then dry. We all have to do laundry. We don’t like it, it’s not fun, but we have to do it anyway. The next time you’re doing yours consider hanging the clothes to dry for a while and then finishing them off in the dryer for about fifteen minutes. You’ll not only save a ton of monergy, but your clothes will hold onto that great fresh smell that only comes from line dried clothes.
• Unplug when not in use. It still amazes me that so many people don’t know that their electronic equipment still draws power even when not on or in use. A great monergy saving tip is to make sure that you unplug any electronic equipment that is not in use.
• A matter of degrees. I don’t blame people for cranking up the AC during hot summer days, but did you know that every degree you back off the AC (or furnace in winter) can add up to real monergy savings. Each degree you back off the AC can save you around five percent of energy use.
• Don’t let that water run. It doesn’t matter if you’re in the kitchen washing up or brushing your teeth at the bathroom sink at night. Many people when using the sink, turn the water on and let it run. A great monergy saving tip is to only turn the water on when you need it. For example, when brushing your teeth, just turn the water on when your brush is under the faucet; keep the water off when brushing.
And this is just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to conserving around your home. Once you start looking around you’ll start to see all sorts of places you can you can conserve and help to save your hard earned monergy.
