There are a couple of things you can do to reduce the electricity bill of your Bullhead City home . For instance, you can switch to compact fluorescent bulbs in lamps that are on for more than two hours per day. Lasting 10-20 times longer than ordinary bulbs, flourescent bulbs are 6-8 times more energy effective.
Devices such as stereos or fax machines must be unplugged when they are not being used. Even if they are not on, they will continue to use up some juice. When cooking smaller foods that do not need to be pre-heated, use an energy efficient microwave or toaster oven.
Shut your computer off or on to "standby" mode when you finish use. By using a laptop, you will drop the price of operating a computer by 85 per cent. Don't open up your fridge door very often or for long periods of time and set the temperature on 38-40 degrees Fahrenheit.
Finally, wash your clothes in cold water, only use the dryer for full loads, and if you can, line dry. By beginning with these small steps, you will be able to save money on your monthly bills and lower your Co2 emissions.
