8 ENERGY SAVING TIPS AND TOOLS We want to help you keep your energy consumption as low as possible and encourage you to take advantage of a number of no or low-cost ways to improve your home s energy efficiency and lower your total energy costs. Much of your home s energy usage comes from a few major appliances. Here are some helpful suggestions to help you lower energy usage in these larger energy using appliances. Clothes Dryer Electric clothes dryers use three times more energy than your washing machine, but by following a few easy tips you can lower your monthly usage and reduce your total costs Dry your clothes on an outdoor clothesline during warmer months Refrigerator and Freezer Older, inefficient refrigerators can cost over $10 per month in electricity to operate. We recommend replacing inefficient older fridges and freezers or any secondary fridge or freezers with ENERGY STAR fridges or freezers. However, if you re not in the market for a new appliance, these tips will also help lower your energy consumption. Regularly vacuum coils to remove any dust or debris that could make your fridge and/or freezer work harder Keep the temperature in your fridge between 2 and 5 degrees Celsius. The temperature of your freezer should be -18 degrees Celsisus Don t overload your fridge or freezer. Both appliances are most efficient when they are filled properly Only use your dryer during off-peak Time-of-Use periods Dry full loads, but don t overload your dryer Dehumidifier Dehumidifers are a large part of your household energy usage. Upgrade to an ENERGY STAR certified dehumidifier that: Have more efficient refrigeration coils, compressors, and fans Remove the same amount of moisture as a conventional dehumidifier, but use nearly 30 percent less energy Waterloo North Hydro Inc. 8

9 Central Air Conditioner At the hottest times of the year, central air conditioners can account for up to 1/3 of Ontario s electricity demand. We can help you cut down on your costs while beating the heat with these tips: Keep windows and doors closed when your Air Conditioning is on Keep your blinds and curtains closed during the day to help lower the temperature of your home by shielding out the sun Install a ceiling fan to help circulate cool air throughout your home Use a programmable smart thermostat to schedule your air conditioning to run during off or mid-peak periods Change the filter monthly Don t plant flowers or shrubs within a meter of your air conditioning unit to prevent your unit from overworking Pool and Hot Tub Pool and hot tub pumps are among the highest energy consumers in your home. Help manage your electricity usage by switching to a variable-speed pool pump and receive a $400 rebate through the Poolsaver Program while saving up to $2,960 in energy costs over the next ten years. We also recommend the following actions: Keep your pool and hot-tub covered when not in use Use timers to operate your pumps and heaters so you can run them during off-peak periods when prices are at the lowest Use the Right Appliances for the Job Saving energy can be as simple as selecting the right appliance at the right time. Use your barbecue instead of your stove top for meals whenever possible to lower your consumption. If you re cooking a small meal, try a microwave oven, toaster oven or slow cooker, they also use less energy than electric stoves. Waterloo North Hydro Inc. 9

10 ENERGY SAVING TIPS AND TOOLS There are many different factors that contribute to higher electricity bills. The age and condition of appliances, weather, and usage during mid and on-peak periods can all impact your monthly bill. We d like to help you keep your consumption as low as possible. Here are a number of tips designed to help you better manage your energy consumption and keep your costs down. For more energy saving tips, visit: Waterloo North Hydro Inc. 10

12 TOP TEN ENERGY SAVING TIPS 1 Use LED Bulbs One light emitting diode (LED) can save you three times its purchase cost in electricity. 2 3a Install a Programmable Thermostat During the heating season, set your programmable thermostat to automatically lower the heat by a few degrees at night or when you are away. Replace Your Old Refrigerator or Freezer Refrigerators and freezers are two of the biggest electricity users in your home these old, inefficient appliances can cost well over $10/ month in electricity. When purchasing a new one, be sure to check the EnerGuide label and look for the ENERGY STAR symbol so you are certain of energy savings. 3b 4 Get Rid of Your Second Refrigerator It may be convenient having an extra refrigerator, but those cold beverages are costing you up to $125 per year. Wash Your Laundry in Cold Water You can save energy and money by washing all of your laundry in cold water. If you currently both wash and rinse in warm water, and you switch entirely to cold, you could save over $14 a month (based on electric water heating). Waterloo North Hydro Inc. 12

13 7 Install Insulation You can save energy and money by increasing the amount of insulation in your home, to keep it warmer in the winter and cooler in the summer. The attic and basement are good places to start. 8 Use Motion Sensor Switches and Timers To avoid leaving your outside lights on for long periods of time, install a motion sensor that turns the lights on automatically when someone approaches the house and then turns the lights off after a pre-set period of time. 9 Rely on Your Fans 5 6 Look for the ENERGY STAR Label ENERGY STAR is an international symbol that identifies many energy efficient products. The ENER- GY STAR symbol helps businesses and consumers identify products that are at the top of their class in energy efficiency. Eliminate Drafts in Your Home Air leakage around windows, doors, vents and electrical outlets can account for as much as 25% of your total heating costs. That means there are significant savings available if you caulk and weather-strip windows, doors, dryer and other vents. Use fans instead of air conditioning when possible. Fans cost pennies to operate and can lower the temperature in the room by up to 2 C. 10 Use LED Seasonal Lighting Using LED lights both inside and outside your home, during the holiday season, is a great way to conserve energy and save money. LED lights use up to 95% less energy and last at least seven times longer than regular lights. Waterloo North Hydro Inc. 13
