$ Energy-Efficiency Tips $ The following tips are from Tampa Electric Company in an effort to help its customers save energy. Heating and Cooling: Service heating and cooling systems annually and adjust for maximum efficiency. Turn thermostats off when home is unoccupied for four hours or more. Have duct system sealed. Replace central air conditioner with a more efficient unit. Set thermostats at 78 degrees Fahrenheit in the summer and 68 degrees Fahrenheit in the winter. Run ceiling fans at low speed, and set them to rotate clockwise in winter and counter-clockwise in summer. Change filters monthly and make sure they are installed facing the correct direction (look for directional arrows on the side of the filter). Close fireplace dampers. Close shades and drapes at night to keep heat inside during the winter. Close shades and drapes during the day to help keep heat outside during the summer. Ensure attic access door closes tightly when located within an air conditioned area. Ensure windows and doors are properly weather-stripped. Water Heating: Install heat recovery water heating and save 35 percent to 55 percent on water heating cost with your central air conditioner. Install flow-restricting devices in showers and faucets. Lower water heater thermostat to 120 degrees, 140 degrees for a dishwasher. Install an insulated water-heater wrap. Replace your water heater with a heat pump system. Turn off your water heater when your home is vacant for two or more days. Drain your water heater and flush sediment out of the tank each year. Insulate exposed hot water lines. Limit shower length to five to seven minutes. Fix dripping faucets. Laundry: Wash clothes in cold water. Do only full laundry loads or adjust water level accordingly. Clean your dryer s lint trap before each load. Make sure that the outdoor dryer exhaust door closes when the dryer is off. Verify dryer vent hose is tightly connected to the inside wall fitting. Make sure your dryer s vent hose is not kinked or clogged. Kitchen: Fix damaged refrigerator door seals. Replace old appliances with high-efficiency models. Clean refrigerator coils. Set refrigerator temperature to 34 to 37 degrees Fahrenheit and freezer temperature to 0 to 5 degrees Fahrenheit. Use a microwave for cooking when possible. Let hot foods cool before storing them in a refrigerator. Only run the dishwasher when fully loaded. Lighting: Replace standard incandescent bulbs with compact fluorescent bulbs (CFL s). Turn off unnecessary lighting Install automatic timers on indoor and outdoor lighting. Miscellaneous: Seal leaks in your attic, fireplace and around electrical outlets. Caulk and/or weather-strip windows and doors. Turn computers, monitors, TVs radios and stereos when not in use. TECO offers online energy audits online or you can even schedule in-home energy audits. For additional information contact Tampa Electric at 813-223-0800 or on the web at www.tampaelectric.com/saveenergy. Always keep your car keys on you or very close by. Why? If you hear a noise outside your home or someone trying to get in your house, you will be able to easily press the panic button for your car. If you have a bedside table, you can make that the "home" for your keys and keep them there when you go to bed, rather than hanging them by the front door. This way they will be more easily accessible. The alarm will start sounding, and the horn will continue to sound until either you turn it off or the car battery dies. Essentially, your car keys are a security alarm system that you already have and require no installation. Try testing it. The alarm should go off from most everywhere inside your house and will keep honking until your battery runs down or until you reset it with the button on the key fob chain. It also works if you park in your driveway or garage. If your car alarm goes off when someone is trying to break into your house, odds are the criminal won't stick around. After a few seconds, all the neighbors will be looking out their windows to see who is out there, and criminals won't want that. Also, remember to carry your keys while walking back to your car in a parking lot. The alarm can work the same way there. This handy trick also is useful for any emergency, such as a heart attack, where you can't reach a phone. My friend suggested to his mom that his dad (who has a history of heart problems and likes to work in their yard) carry his car keys with him in case he falls outside and she doesn't hear him. He can activate the car alarm and then she'll know there's a problem. This is something that should really be shared with everyone. Remembering to use this simple tip could possibly save a life, prevent a burglary, or prevent a sexual abuse crime. Panther Trace October-December 2014 www.panthertracetimes.com 9
