| 2. The Hot Water Tank | |
|
Does knowing that your hot water tank uses energy even when you aren't using water boil you up? Consider a programmable timer - now available for both electric and for gas units that require electricity. You can save up to 30% only heating the water in your tank when you need it. |
| 3. Old Appliances | |
|
Do we really need an extra fridge to keep five beers and a bag of apples cold? The Refrigerator Round-up is free and just a call away (1-877-797-9473)and savings up to $150/year are with it. This is one of the most user friendly programs we have ever experienced! |
| 4. Clothes Dryers | |
|
Your clothes dryer can be more difficult to manage efficiently. Who really wants to dry their clothes at 3 a.m.? During peak time your dryer costs 60¢ / hour. After 9 pm this cost is reduced to 30¢/ hour. Clothes will dry much, much faster if the airflow to the outside is unobstructed. Clearing the lint trap mid drying cycle of the load AND cleaning the dryer vent pipe to the outside each season will significantly shorten drying time. |
| 5. Electronics | |
|
Phantom loads from entertainment systems and computers are just ghastly and are what Ontario's Chief Conservation Officer Peter Love calls "the fastest-growing source of electricity consumption in people's homes." Get a power bar with an on/off switch and built-in quality surge protection (The Doc prescribes Sycom) to save your money and protect your sensitive electronic investments.

Each conserved watt saves you about 53¢ /year : 1 lowly watt x 24 hrs x 365days = 8,760 watts (8.76 kW) 8.76 kW x $.06/kw(avg) = 53¢ /year
Merry Christmas from the Shock Doctors!
