More Energy Saving Tips

06.23.2012 by Leah // Leave a Comment

There’s a discussion over at the N@W (Newlyweds-at-Work) forum about this month’s electricity bill from Meralco.   While I have just written about how ours went down this month, it seems that it’s the case with most N@Wies (that’s how we call ourselves as members in the group).

The question now is:  how can we save electricity, without sacrificing usage of the appliances we need so badly?     Here are some I could think of, some of which requires us to actually shell out money but would, in the long run, save from higher electricity bills in the future:

1.  Start to replace all of your inefficient incandescent light bulbs and even the energy efficient ones with LED bulbs.   They are not only more efficient, but longer lasting too.

2.  Invest in energy efficient appliances.   One good investment is the inverter aircon.   Although they usually cost a little more initially, the savings in electricity in the long-run will cover that many times over.

3.  Invest in iron-free clothes.   I do this (that’s why I love Columbia Sportswear hehe) and I have here tops and blouses that doesn’t require ironing at all.

 4. Invest in a lamp for your living room and place it at a corner so that light is reflected in 2 walls.   Since it uses a smaller bulb, you also save on electricity instead of using the main bulb.   Light the lamp instead of the main bulb when just watching TV (after all, you don’t need too bright a room for that).

5.   Use your microwave oven to heat food, instead of heating by re-cooking it in a cook pan.   Although a microwave uses more electricity, it cooks over a very short time and so it saves energy overall.

6.   Do not leave your television in standby mode.   They still consume electricity even when on standby.

7.   Wear loose and comfortable clothes at home so you won’t feel the need to turn on the AC all the time.

8.   Lastly, study your electricity bills.   If you feel that you are already consuming less but still being charged for higher consumption, have your line or meter checked ASAP, for possible illegal connection.

To My Father By Georgia Harkness A giant pine, ma To My Father
By Georgia Harkness

A giant pine, magnificent and old
Stood staunch against the sky and all around
Shed beauty, grace and power.
Within its fold birds safely reared their young.
The velvet ground beneath was gentle,
and the cooling shade gave cheer to passers by.
Its towering arms a landmark stood, erect and unafraid,
As if to say, “Fear naught from life’s alarms”.
It fell one day.
Where it had dauntless stood was loneliness and void.
But men who passed paid tribute – and said,
“To know this life was good,
It left it’s mark on me. Its work stands fast”.
And so it lives. Such life no bonds can hold –
This giant pine, magnificent and old.

To our shelter and safety while he lived, we miss you so much.
Happy 2nd Year in Heaven, Daddy ❤
