Q. I've heard that waterbeds use a lot of electricity. How can I reduce
the cost?
A. The best way to save energy and money is to keep the bed covered, keeping
the heat in.
Q. Does an electric blanket use much electricity?
A. Very little, and it is much less expensive than keeping the whole house
warm while you sleep.
Q. I often need to use a dehumidifier to control excess moisture in my
basement. How can I reduce the cost?
A. Use dehumidifiers only as needed. In mild weather, try opening windows
and using either natural air circulation or fans to dry up any excess humidity.
Q. How can I reduce the cost of operating my hot tub?
A. The best way to save is with an insulated cover that will help keep the
heat in and reduce the amount of time the heater has to run.
Q. Can I save by unplugging appliances that are not in use?
A. If the appliance has an "on/off" switch, turning it off has the same
effect as unplugging it. Extra refrigerators or freezers should be unplugged
when not in use.
