Home Energy Saving Tips

Here are some tips to help you save energy, save money and do your part for the environment.

Try these easy, low-cost or no-cost energy saving tips.

Furnace
		Keep your furnace clean, lubricated and properly adjusted with annual maintenance. If your furnace is working at peak efficiency it will use less energy and cost less to operate.
		Clean or replace the filter every 1-2 months - a dirty filter reduces the airflow and forces the furnace to run longer to heat your home.
		Consider purchasing a new ENERGY STAR® qualified furnace with a variable speed motor. An average home can save up to $571 in natural gas and electrical costs annually when upgrading from a standard 60% efficiency natural gas furnace to a 95% efficiency furnace with a high efficiency variable speed motor.
Thermostat
		Lower your thermostat by 4 - 5 degrees Celsius (7 - 9 degrees Fahrenheit) while you're sleeping at night and when no one is at home.
		Install a programmable thermostat. You can save 2% on your heating bill for every 1 degree C you turn down your thermostat. With a programmable thermostat to consistently lower your heat when you don’t need it, you could save up to $71 a year!
Laundry
		Switch to cold when doing your laundry. 85 – 90% of the energy used to wash your clothes is used to heat the water. By turning the dial to cold on your washing machine, you help the environment, save energy, and save money.
		Wash full loads.
		Choose a front loading washing machine. Not only does a front loading washing machine save water, it saves energy as well. It uses about 40% less water and about 50% less energy.
Weather-stripping
		Weather-stripping provides a barrier between the fixed and movable sections of doors and windows. Apply weather-stripping to operable windows, exterior doors, garage doors, and doors that lead to the attic.
Windows, doorframes, sills and joints
		Apply a sealant or caulk around windows, doorframes, sills and joints. On a windy day feel for leaks or use a couple of incense sticks to help identify leaks around windows, electrical outlets, vents and exterior doors. As well look for spider webs - if there is a web there is a draft.
		Use plastic window covers to help prevent heat loss.
		Keep return air grills and heating vents clear of furniture, rugs and drapes, so there is no interference with the flow of heat through your home.
Basement
		If you have an unfinished basement or crawlspace, check for leaks by looking for spider webs. If there is a web, there is a draft. A large amount of heat is also lost from an un-insulated basement.
		Add insulation to basement walls.
Drapes & Blinds
		On sunny days, open south facing drapes and let the sun in, a natural source of heat. If you have large windows that don't receive direct sun, keep the drapes closed.
		Close your drapes and blinds during the night.
Pipes, ducts, fans and vents
		Plug gaps around pipes, ducts, fans and vents that go through walls, ceilings and floors from heated to unheated spaces.
Showerheads and faucets
		Install low-flow showerheads and faucets.
		Click here to see a video on how to install a low-flow showerhead
		Click here to see a video on how to install a Water Wizard ™
Dishwasher
		Always wash a full load in your dishwasher and air-dry your dishes on the “energy saver” setting.
Garage
		Turn on the heat just prior to use, save by not heating it continuously.
Wood Fireplace
		Close the damper to prevent warm air from escaping through the chimney, and ensure the damper fits properly.
Other
		Use the Equalized Payment Plan so you can average your bills and avoid peak winter bills.

Tips on Saving Money

Going hand and hand with an effective household budget is saving money on those things that you truly need. To start saving, take an inventory of your needs to see where you can shave the dollars. Begin with the biggest items first, where the most potential for savings is, and move down the scale to the less expensive items. A moderate savings on one of the big items(houses and cars) combined with savings on the smaller items (food, clothes, etc.) can reap a large reward in your total budget. The following are some thought starters:

General Tips

Distinguish between Wants and Needs: You will save a ton of money if you don't mistake wants for needs. Needs are pretty simple to identify--those items that are necessary to sustain: Shelter, food, clothing, transportation. Wants are those things that enhance or possibly improve our family life. A car is a need. Unless necessary for your business, a $40,000 Sport Utility Vehicle is a want, even if a lot of people don't see it that way. Have you ever heard (or said) "I absolutely need...?" when the actual meaning was "I really want?" This is not to suggest that you shouldn't be able to have the things you want--only that to delude yourself into believing that a want is a need--and busting your budget in the process--is a recipe for financial disaster.

Is less better? Perhaps it was due to the booming economy, perhaps "keeping up with the Joneses", maybe its ego, but for many of us, we often seem to insist on the biggest and the best, no matter what the cost. When a $15,000 new car may be more than acceptable, we stretch the seams of our budget to afford a $25,000 vehicle. We buy $25 shirts with $35 designer labels attached. We opt for the $100 dinner at the trendy restaurant when a $20 meal would have been just as delicious. Think about where you are spending the family money--and how--to see if there couldn't be savings found with minor changes in habits.

Try before you Buy: This goes a long way in helping to avoid the silly purchases of things you rarely or never use. Before you buy something, especially items with big price tags, borrow one, rent one or try one out before you plunk down the cash. If you are bored with it, or determine that it truly is not something you need before you buy it (and you will be on a certain percentage of items) you will definitely be bored with it, or find it not that necessary, after! Example: You feel that you absolutely must have a new Jet-Ski, at a cost of $4500 (and that is before financing and taxes). You go to the lake, rent one, and 45 minutes into a one hour rental you are saying, "geez, this is a long hour." Saved: More than $4500 (perhaps a year of college fees for the kid!)

What You Must Know About Rose Planting

Rose planting is a neat hobby to get into. It comes with both the actual fulfillment as well as the physical enjoyment. But mind you though, rose planting is not that easy of a task to get into. Most flower growers and professional gardener actually consider roses as one of the hardestplants to grow. Roses can be quite a challenge to keep looking beautiful and to grow into those colorful fully bloomed flowers from merely looking like rose buds. If you really wanted to get into the habit of rose planting, all it takes is for you to plan things carefully before you actually proceed on planting your roses.

If you really wanted to pursue a garden project and fill it up with roses, the first thing you needed to keep in mind is to plan everything. Yes, this is the core of the entire rose planting endeavor. You need to plan all the details and to pick the type of roses which you will be using. If you are new to the whole gardening thing, it will be wise to consult a professional or even someone you personally know to help you out. To give you some useful ideas, you can also do some research on your own by looking things up at catalogs and browsing through gardening magazines. You can also visit any local garden or even parks to have an idea about certain landscapes and certain plants fit for home gardens if you plan to add in more than just roses.

As soon as you have accomplished making a solid plan for your garden, the next thing you have to do would be to select the types of plants for inclusion in the garden. The next important step after planning will have to be the preparation. In preparation, all the plans you have will begin to materialize in the form of raw materials. Make sure you include the roses you want and prepare the soil for your garden. You need to remember that garden soil does not actually occur within a snap. You do not have it overnight and you really needed to tend it before it does actually materialize. You need to make sure that you have also dug the holes where you will be placing your roses and make sure that they are separated with just the right space in between them.

Then of course after preparing your entire garden, you will now be ready to plant your roses. However, make sure that the holes you have prepared are about six inches deeper and larger as compared to the roses which you will be planting. As you begin to plant the roses, you need to carefully remove them from their wrappings to make sure they do not get damaged especially their roots. As soon as you have unwrapped the roses, the next thing you have to do will be to plant it already. Pack in the soil so that the roses will be held in place and make sure you also mix it in with water to keep the plants hydrated.

Recycle Those Old CD's

"Scratch Board" - I like taking my unused AOL etc...cd freebies and painting them with either an acrylic or fabric paint. I then lightly draw/trace a design onto the dried surface and proceed to scratch onto the design. This removes the paint and leaves the shiny rainbow part exposed ... voila you have a unique "scratch board" ... ( you can use a thick sewing needle ,pencil or end of a small paintbrush) Drop spindle for spinning wool - You need roughly two cd's (aol's free ones work very well) a dowel about 12 - 16 inches long some rubber tubing and a small metal hook. Place the rubber tubing around the dowel and place in the center of the cd's about four inches from the top. screw metal hook into the top and spin. Christmas Light Reflectors - We use them as reflectors for Christmas lights outside....the c-7 size bulbs fit thru the opening and then we put the light string on outdoor stakes and line a sidewalk...looks REALLY cool when it is lightly raining...the clear colored bulbs work best, but the opaque ones will do. Use as Reflectors - Fasten to a wooden stake by pre-drilling and screwing/nailing it to the wood, shiny side OUT, and use as reflectors along your sidewalk or driveway. Candle Display - Use cd's shiny side up to sit small pillar or votive candles on. The reflection off the cd's is great for centerpieces on buffet tables, especially during the holidays. Sun Catcher - The sun's rays reflects all sorts of color off of them. Glue 2 CDs together (label sides to one another) To make holes for hanging, use a large enough needle or a nail. Use a pair of pliers to hold onto needle or nail and hold over an open flame to heat, then push through the two discs when hot enough. Run some decorative cord through the hole(s), decorate both sides, but nothing too large or you'll ruin the effect and the purpose of why you are making. Christmas ornament ideas - For our company party (we have a small staff), I am using glitter glue to make festive designs on the shiny side of the cd's. We will slide decorate string through the hole of the cd, and tie a knot to make a loop, long enough to hang from a Christmas tree. Then we're taking Polaroid pictures of each couple. We will use fancy edger scissors to cut around the pictures and paste on the center of the decorated cd. If there is a label on the backside of the cd, you could cover with wrapping paper or construction paper and decorate with glitter glue, sequins, beads or whatever! More Christmas ornament ideas - Using a permanent marking pen, Xmas shaped sponges and\or small simple stencils, I traced small stockings, bells, trees, stars and snowman on the shiny side of the cd and then cut them out using a small electric scroll saw. The key was to go slow. Then I used the dremel to smooth the edges and punch the holes to slip cord through to hang them. The finishing touch is to paint the label side with acrylic paint sponged on, or use snow texture paint, or glue and glitter. The commercial cd's show a pretty silvery color and writeable cds a lovely gold color. You can personalize the small ornaments with kids names written with a metallic permanent marker or acrylic paint. Or string a whole bunch together for a wonderful homemade garland. Spinning tops for kids - Adult, take a knife and push through hole in CD making slit each side. Force a penny half way through hole. Spin CD on the edge of the penny. Enhance by gluing dowel to one side of penny to make it easier to spin. Borders - In a teen's bedroom they make a nice substitute for a wallpaper border (it takes ALOT though). If you don't have that many you could also use them for a window or mirror border. Put them side by side or overlap them. Use CD as template when you need a perfect circle for a project. (Bonus...you have two sizes!!) Mosaic - Break into small pieces and use as mosaic tiles. Make a clock - buy clockworks at your local craft store, the CD has a readymade hole in the center! Wall decorations - I took an old venetian blinds and cut it up and made f petals. The plastic blinds are easy to cut. I painted the petals, five to each cd's. Then I spray painted the top coat with clear paint. Then lined 5 petal to each cd's and put a button in the middle. Then laced the outer edges. Four disk are lined up on the wall around my computer. It looks great. Another idea is to make angel wings by cutting the cd in half. Paper tape the cut. It will come apart if you don't. Take glue and spread other edge of the disk and put glitter on it to hid the tape. It makes a beautiful wings and shiny too. Mobile - Drill holes in the top and string together to make a mobile. Paint w/ oil paints. Paint w/ acrylic mixed with multi-purpose sealer. Paint and decorate w/ material, hang or frame. Use as coasters - cover w/ felt. Make a collage - Glue together to make a wall collage. Garden helper - Run a string through the hole and hang in yard or from trees to keep birds away from garden. Make bowls - Place in oven on low heat over a metal bowl shape, or heat with a blow dryer. When softened, they can be bent (gently). Glue to small plates or seal hole and use for candy dishes, fountain bowls, etc. Cautions: Any time you break CDs, Saftey glasses or goggles shoud be worn. Handeling any broken pieces of CD, caution should be taken, edges are sharp and can cut the skin, like glass does.

Does it seem like there's never enough time in the day to get everything done? Feel like you're always running late? Here are some tips for taking control of your time and organizing your life.

1. Make a "To Do" List Every Day.

Put things that are most important at the top and do them first. If it's easier, use a planner to track all of your tasks. And don't forget to reward yourself for your accomplishments.

2. Use Spare Minutes Wisely.

Get some reading done on the bus ride home from school, for example, and you'll kill two birds with one stone.

3. It's Okay to Say "No."
