5 EASY WAYS TO PREPARE YOUR HOME FOR THE SUMMER HEAT

Summer months often bring peak energy consumption, especially when temperatures climb. While homeowners can’t control the weather, they can bring down energy costs and consumption, and allow for a more stress-free summer season. Start with these tips to prepare your home for the summer heat.


Check The Home’s Insulation

Home insulation is one of the easiest improvements to boost a home’s energy efficiency. If the attic is not insulated, heat will move through the roof into the attic, then into the main home. This causes the air conditioning to work harder to keep the house cool, and it also drives up electric bills. When the attic is insulated, heat won’t seep into the home, so everyone feels more comfortable.

Materials used to insulate homes are ranked on an R-value scale, which measures their ability to resist heat flow. Homes in varying climates have varying needs for insulation. Homes in hot climates need insulation with an R-value of 30, while homes in temperate climates should be equipped with R-38 insulation and homes in cold climates require R-49 insulation.

If the windows and doors leak air between the outdoors and the inside of the home, chilled air will escape outside and vice versa. Energy costs rise as a result. By sealing air leaks using weatherstripping and caulk, home owners can keep the cool air in, potentially cut the costs down all summer long, and improve the home’s energy efficiency.


Close Doors and Draw Curtains in the Day

Two simple ways to save are to close doors to rooms when no one is in them and draw the curtains during the day. The HVAC system is only cooling the areas of the home that are occupied when interior doors are shut. When the curtains are drawn, solar heat won’t penetrate the home and heat up rooms.

When it cools down at night, open up the windows to draw fresh cool air into the home. Open the blinds as well. These passive actions help to cool the home overnight while cutting energy consumption.


Ensure HVAC Systems Have As Much Help As Possible

Annual inspection and tune-up keeps the air conditioner working efficiently. A technician can clean the unit and replace the filter, so the air conditioner works optimally, as well as repair or replace worn-out parts. The technician can also advise on the unit’s remaining useful life, to help plan for replacement.

On hot days, air conditioners may be necessary to increase comfort in the home. When paired with ceiling fans, home owners can turn the air conditioner up by as much as four degrees with no comfort reduction. The ceiling fans push cold air back down and create a “wind chill” that helps people feel cool. For the most energy savings, use fans and air conditioners that have an Energy Star label.

Homeowners may be able to use an energy device to get motors operating more efficiently, reducing energy waste by capturing and recycling consumed energy to slow demand from the grid. For additional savings, investigate energy devices, such as the Electric Saver 1200, or the ES1200+ Surge which is a top of the line unit that will protect your entire home from spikes & surges.


Avoid Using Heat-Producing Appliances

Take advantage of summer heat and air dry clothing and bedding on a clothesline. Clothes dryers are one of the major energy hogs within a home, and there is no need to use the dryer when nature allows homeowners to dry clothes for free.

Cooking in the oven heats up the home, which in turn means the air conditioner has to work overtime to cool down the house. When it’s hot out, use alternate modes of cooking, whether it’s a toaster oven, microwave, stove-top, or patio grill. Summer is also an ideal time for relying on cold meals that require no cooking, including salads and sandwiches.

Use Landscaping to Shade the Home

Homes with full to part shade exposure get less hot than homes with a full sun exposure, so HVAC systems do not need to work as hard to cool down the house. While it may take a long time to pay off, planting trees that will shade the house not only helps the environment — since trees reduce CO2 emissions — but curbs home cooling costs.

YOU WON’T BELIEVE HOW YOUR POWER COMPANY IS BILLING YOU!

You Won’t Believe How Some Power Companies calculate your energy bills. Most just pay it and don’t bother to look at the details. But, how are they calculating the energy used and more importantly, how can you reduce that amount? I know I am not the ONLY person who has ever asked this question, so I decided to write in detail about it. For more info about better understanding electricity bills, visit: http://www.electricsaver1200.com/bills

KWH, Demand Charges, Peak Hours, Tiered Pricing based on WHO knows what?!?

All these extra complications make figuring out how much your monthly utility bill will be much more well… complicated. If you are living on planet Earth and have a power bill, it is no surprise how electricity bills just keep getting higher and higher. Despite power companies adopting more green technology, rates keep climbing as you can see below and that stopped at 2005. I know in Florida, we are paying roughly 12 cents and in California, New York & Canada the rates are MUCH higher.

Electric Companies calculate energy based on your usage. But let’s dive a little deeper… the “WHEN” is just as important as “how much”. Watts is a measurement that is used to find out how much each electrical device in your home uses. Kilo is based on 1000 of those watts. An hour is a measurement of time. So if a light bulb uses 100 watts per hour, it would take 10 hours of light to equal 1 Kilowatt hour ( 100 watts x10 hours= 1000watts or 1 kilowatt/hour).

Then you have to take into account, “WHEN” these appliance use the energy throughout the day (remember those lovely peak hours & demand charges?). And then, figure out your usage based on each tier of structured pricing your utility provider bills you at. It’s enough to make your head spinny! But instead of doing a bunch of math for EVERYTHING in your home, you can look at the graph below and see what impacts your power bill the most. By doing this, you can focus on making those things more energy efficient AND of course save you the most money.

With Heating & Cooling being the biggest cost, it’s best to focus on that first. Read my other post about hot water here.

How To Lower Energy Costs with HEATING & COOLING

heating energy loss

1) Whether it’s hot or cold, this tip is definitely worth mentioning. Before a coarse winter or hot sizzling summer, get your heating & cooling systems checked and cleaned to be sure they are operating at their best. It is no joke to be without heat or A/C when weather is at its worst.

2) Be sure that any cracks/leaks/gaps are sealed to prevent air from escaping your home and jacking up your energy bill.

3) Also, check your air filters and keep those cleaned on a monthly routine to prevent needless repairs on your HVAC system.

4) Install 1 of our Electric Saver 1200 products to your HVAC system & make your home more energy efficient.

Over 16 Billion Dollars of Electricity is unusable energy, but billable in the U.S.

Motors by their very design are inefficient when demanding power from your energy grid. This is why air conditioner and refrigeration manufacturers have started building this technology into their systems and are able to charge you thousands of dollars more.

But, even by building the product into their units, it still doesn’t handle the individual customer’s inefficient electrical system setup. We have tested our product to high efficient air conditioners and were still able to lower their energy usage 10%. And these results were on the MOST EXPENSIVE unit in a brand new home! The property owner couldn’t believe his eyes.

By installing this device to your property, you can handle the inefficiencies directly for your property.

Motors in your home (such as your Central Air Conditioner, Heat Pump or Pool Pump) are currently wasting energy. This means you are already paying the power company more of your hard earned dollars than you need to EVERY month! You can put a stop to this today.

By capturing and recycling (otherwise lost energy/watts) and releasing it back to your motor when needed, you can dramatically lower your energy bills. This recycling process reduces the amount of heat on the wires and the motors in your home. Reducing this heat (kilowatts) will lower your electricity bill and lengthen the life of the motors in your home.

Electric-Saver-Questions

Every property in the USA currently has some of the following inductive motors that can be made more energy efficient without paying out the nose for a new system/appliance.

These include, but are not limited to: Central Air Conditioner, Heat Pump, Pool Pump, Refrigerator, Freezer, Washer, Dryer, Ceiling Fans ,T-12 Fluorescent Lighting Ballast, etc.

Commercial Properties pay thousands of dollars every month on energy costs for refrigeration, air conditioning, and expensive motor driven equipment. Imagine the savings you can bring to these businesses. By helping them reduce operating costs, you boost the economy. As they are able to operate more successfully, they can expand and create more jobs, as well as provide a better product or service to our society.

Utility companies have been using this technology to make their energy grids more efficient for decades. The Electric Saver 1200 uses this very same technology. By recycling the otherwise wasted energy on your property back to your motors/appliances, you have less kilowatt usage from your power company, which means LOWER ELECTRICITY BILLS for you!

And no we aren’t talking about eliminating “power factor penalties” for homeowners because homeowners aren’t given power factor penalties and are only billed for their usage. We are talking about making the motors and appliances in your home more efficient.

By installing a new energy efficient refrigerator in your home, you use less energy. The ONLY way for your power company to tell whether you have an old refrigerator or a new one is by it’s usage. By making your home more energy efficient (by lowering the actual kilowatts the motors/appliances in your home or business uses), you are billed less, it’s as simple as that.


High Voltage Pole Mount Capacitor Bank

This is what your power company is using to make their grids more efficient so they can increase profits and service more customers using the same equipment. With the Electric Saver 1200, you can reduce demand and legally lower electricity bills simply by making the motors/appliance in your home or business more energy efficient.

Your electric company has been using this technology for decades to make their systems more energy efficient. Why would your power company spend tens of thousands of dollars adding this technology to their grids if this method doesn’t work?


BECAUSE THIS TECHNOLOGY DOES WORK!

Don’t take my word for it, though. Look around your city/neighborhood at the power poles, for approximate every 50 transformers, you will notice this technology being used.


Is the Electric Saver 1200 UL Listed and CuL listed?

Yes, our products have all been thoroughly safety tested and meet the safety requirements by UL. In fact, our facility is randomly inspected several times a year to ensure you are receiving top notch safe equipment. Our UL & CuL file number is listed directly on UL’s website here: U.S.A. / Canada


Does your equipment have Product Liability Insurance?

Yes, we as the product manufacturer carry a $2M dollar policy to protect you and your loved ones.

5 SURPRISING WAYS TO CONSERVE ELECTRICITY AT HOME


Are You Looking for Ways To Conserve Electricity but don’t know where to start?

Well this post can help you save on energy costs as well as be more environmentally friendly. So which appliances in your home use the most electricity and how can you make them more energy efficient without breaking the bank? For More Free Ways to Save, go to:

http://www.electricsaver1200.com/bills/ways-to-conserve-electricity


Energy Saving with Appliances

According to sparkenergy.com, Big appliances, like dishwashers, clothes washers and clothes dryers have insatiable appetites for electricity and using them too often can drive your electricity bill way up.

In fact, the average American family does almost 400 loads of laundry a year and uses almost 40 gallons of water for a full load. However, many of those “loads” may not actually be using the appliance to its fullest capacity.


Solution:

For your dishwasher, make sure that you fill it to capacity before you run it. Choose an appropriate wash cycle and change the drying setting to use no or low heat.

For clothes washers and dryers, ALWAYS wash with a full load. Try having only one laundry day each week, fill your loads to capacity and select low heat for drying.


Using Lighting More Intelligently

When it comes to lighting, many people make the mistake of using lights to affect the brightness of an entire room, which can contribute to high electric bills. However, lighting is efficient only when used directly to provide light to specific areas of a room, such as couches, chairs, kitchen tables and workspaces. Full room ceiling lights are much less effective than individual lamps for providing the light you need. You’ll also pay more on your electric bill if you keep lights on when nobody’s using them.


Solution:

Use lighting only for specific areas that are occupied and make sure to turn off lights when those areas are no longer in use. Change out inefficient incandescent light bulbs for energy-efficient CFL or LED bulbs to save money when the lights are on.


Using Ceiling Fans ONLY when needed

Ceiling fans only affect the temperature of the room in which they’re installed, so it doesn’t make sense to leave a ceiling fan on if nobody’s in the room. Additionally, ceiling fans have a toggle switch that allows the blades to switch direction for optimal efficiency based on the season.


Solution:

Turn your ceiling fans off when nobody’s in the room and be sure to set the toggle switch so that the blades run counter-clockwise during the summer and clockwise during the winter to circulate air more efficiently.
