If not, timed power switches are a great way to turn the lights on before you get home or even make sure you didn’t burn the house down with your curling iron. If you use more, even greater savings may be possible. If you want to connect your system to the electricity grid, these groups may also be able to help you navigate your power provider's grid-connection requirements. While space heaters can help keep a basement bedroom warm, they also can start a house fire and drive up energy bills. The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission estimates that more than 1,700 residential fires every year are associated with the use of space heaters, resulting in more than 80 deaths and 160 injuries nationally. But in Australia, the abundance of solar energy means people are encouraged to do their most energy intensive things in the peak of the afternoon. "Making your home energy-efficient means starting with the basics, and the most important of these are the proper sealing of air leaks and insulating sufficiently for your climate," says Ronnie Kweller, who was spokeswoman for the Alliance to Save Energy in Washington, D.C., at the time of the interview. |
