Energy - saving tips from IID
March 18th, 2009
Did you know that IID will come to your home and (for FREE) conduct a review of your electrical usage? If you haven’t arranged for the Average Payment Plan, think about it: pay the same averaged amount all year, even though your electric bill soars in the summer. You can predict your payments, with no surprises. Also, use your electric bill to monitor your usage over the last year (on the graph) and look for ways to save power.
FIRST TIP: Get your air conditioner serviced every season. Corrected refrigerant, cleaned coils, and sealed air leaks can save you up to $111 a year. If your A/C is an OLD one, it probably is not an energy-efficient model. There’s a rebate of up to $145 if you can afford to replace it. (Amount of the rebate depends on the size and efficiency of the unit purchased.) The biggest saving will be your monthly payments.
