Energy Hogs
To
say that electricity has revolutionized the
way people live is somewhat of an understatement.
In fact there is little we do today around
the home that does not in some way utilize
the tremendous power of electricity. Light
bulbs, clocks, small appliances, computers,
radios and televisions are all things we use
almost everyday of every year.
But what are the big users of electricity?
What are the energy hogs around your home?
The answer to that question is not very hard
to find. One feature of a home that often
consumes the most electricity is the heating
and air conditioning system.
Another big user in the home is the source
of those wonderful hot baths, your water heater.
In thekitchen,
yourrefrigerator
and freezer, along with self-cleaning ovens,
are the biggest consumers of electricity.
And, finally, theclothes
dryer in the pantry, on average, can account
for a sizable portion of your monthly bill.
