Houston, TX (PRWEB) February 5, 2008 — Heating a home during the winter season can be a scary prospect. GasGeorgia.com, an innovative online shopping marketplace for natural gas service in Georgia, is educating customers this new year about energy conservation for the home.
Many homes are powered by electricity generated from the burning of natural gas, but also use natural gas appliances for cooking, heating and other common household practices. The following tips from GasGeorgia will help natural gas customers formulate good habits and maximize their energy efficiency in 2008:
* Proper insulation and caulking around windows, air vents and doors will prevent leaking and seal heat in, while keeping the cold out.
* LED lighting is a great way to conserve, consuming nearly 90 percent less energy than traditional lights.
* Bake and cook dishes in groups to minimize individual cooking times. Use smaller, more efficient appliances such as microwaves, toaster ovens and slow cookers to lower energy costs as well.
* Make sure to check that the water heater is working properly, and that the pipes are properly insulated and not leaking.
* Focus on setting the thermostat to a consistent temperature, ideally between 68° and 70° F, and lower when the house is unoccupied. A programmable thermostat will automatically adjust temperatures, conserving additional energy during hours when families are away from home.
Preparation is key to providing a comfortable and safe environment, and ensuring that homes are running at maximum efficiency. GasGeorgia customers have several resources with natural gas pricing information, tips, news and more to help manage their natural gas service. GasGeorgia also provides customers with the ability to enter an address and compare rates and products from leading natural gas companies in the state of Georgia.
HOUSTON, Dec. 27 /PRNewswire/ — Another year has come and gone and once again it’s time to wipe the slate clean. According to a recent survey, about 49 percent of all Americans will make a green New Year’s resolution for 2008– and Direct Energy, one of the largest North American providers of energy and energy-related services wants to help homeowners keep their green resolution all year round.
“Making a green resolution is easy since it can yield tremendous benefits, such as reducing energy consumption, saving money and helping the environment,” said Dave Walton, director of home ideas for Direct Energy. “However, like any New Year’s resolution, keeping that commitment to energy efficiency can be a little harder, so we wanted to offer these quick and easy tips to help homeowners.”
To help homeowners get going, the company is challenging consumers to start the “seven days of saving challenge” — quick and easy tips consumers can adopt each day to make their home more energy-efficient and reduce their carbon footprint:
PLAY
-- Change your light bulbs: Year-around, lighting can account for as much
as 25 percent of a home's electrical use. Simply replace incandescent
bulbs with compact fluorescent lights that use up to 75 percent less
energy. Imagine if every American home replaced their five most
frequently used light fixtures or bulbs with ENERGY STAR qualified
models. The estimated savings would amount to nearly $8 billion
dollars a year -- greenhouse gases equivalent to the emissions from
nearly 10 million cars!
-- Upgrade to ENERGYSTAR appliances: ENERGYSTAR labeled products can cut
your energy bills by up to 30 percent when you're ready to replace your
heating and cooling systems -- as well as appliances, lighting,
windows, office equipment, and home electronics Consider investing in
new appliances if your budget allows since you should see immediate
energy savings.
-- Use the dishwasher more: One load of dishes cleaned in a dishwasher
requires 37 percent less water than washing dishes by hand. However,
if you fill the wash and rinse basins instead of letting the water run,
you'll use half as much water as a dishwasher.
-- Unplug the charger on your cell phone: When portable devices such as a
Blackberry(TM), cell phone, or iPod(TM) are finished charging,
disconnect the device and unplug the charger. Even if the device isn't
connected, energy continues to seep out through the charger itself.
-- Purchase a Rug in the season's newest color -- Green. A rug is not only
a decorator's must have, but it also helps insulate your floors and cut
down on the noise too.
-- Let the sunshine in. Open the drapes or blinds on sunny days and bask
in the 'free' heat. Keep those south-facing windows squeaky clean to
let the light through. Remember to close the drapes or blinds when the
sun sets.
-- Renewable energy does not only include solar panels and windmills on
your home. Start thinking about what is right for you and your family.
Direct Energy also purchases electricity from renewable energy sources
with solar panels, windmills and other technologies. By purchasing a
Direct Energy product, you are also purchasing renewable energy.
For those who really want to challenge themselves in 2008, Direct Energy encourages consumers to join Energy Star’s “Change a Light” campaign and pledge to save on their personal energy usage. Take the pledge to change even one incandescent light bulb in your house to a CFL bulb. You are guaranteed to achieve savings in energy consumption, and reduce your energy costs. To learn more information and to register your effort, log on to http://www.directenergy.com or energystar.gov. It only takes 30 seconds to add your name to the citizens’ commitment web pledge form.
