Why Do We Need to Conserve Energy?
Saving energy reduces air and water pollution and conserves natural resources, which in turn creates a healthier living environment for people everywhere. At the same time, efficiency also saves money and creates jobs.Conserving energy results in lower living expenses as energy savings leads to monetary savings. Along with helping consumers keep more cash in their pockets, it also helps protect the environment from excess resource use and carbon dioxide emissions.
Ways to Save Energy at Home
1.) Turn off unnecessary lights
Turning the lights off when you leave your room is necessary to help save electricity and lower your utility bills. As a homeowner, turning the lights off when you’re not using them can help save money by reducing your electricity bills, extend the life of your light bulbs, and buy bulbs less often. Turning your lights off is essential when you go out of your room for a few minutes. Doing so can make your home more energy-efficient. Turning your lights off is also more energy efficient when you choose lighting options that are high-quality and cost-effective. On the other hand, check out these six essential facts about turning off the lights in your home.
2.) Use natural lights
Natural light is one of the key ways of saving energy. Daylighting minimizes the amount of artificial light and reduces electricity and HVAC (heating, ventilation, and air conditioning) costs. Electrical lighting produces a lot of heat, whereas natural lighting generates hardly any heat if it is properly controlled. Making use of natural light can save up to 75 percent of the energy used for lighting buildings and reduce cooling costs. In the past few years, lighting has become a focus for energy saving ideas. However, not enough effort has gone into maximization of the use of natural light either in building design or legislation. Good daylighting solutions demand an integrated building design approach. Daylighting design should be holistic: developing solutions that are part of the main concept, while meeting visual, thermal and energy needs.
3.) Occasionally clean your appliances
If you want to clean your air and save energy at the same time, look for an air-cleaning machine that offers high-energy efficiency ratings. Or to save even more electricity, forgo buying a machine and simply upgrade the air filters in your AC system (if you have AC ducts). Whichever you choose, be sure to change the filters frequently for best efficiency. These tips can help you save electricity in your home, lowering your electric bill and increasing the eco-friendliness of your lifestyle — while still helping you keep your home tidy and well maintained. Presley & Son Electric Service can help you install more energy-efficient appliances, assess your water heater for added energy-efficiency potential, and navigate energy-efficiency ratings on any new cleaning devices you're considering.

4.) Unplug unused electronics
We live in an era with a constant need for electricity. From countertop appliances to phone chargers, it’s safe to say there are devices not currently in use that are plugged in across your home. While these devices are out of sight and mind, they are slowly using energy and increasing your monthly bills. All utilities plugged in around your home are drawing electricity in small increments. One or two items may not be a concern, but homeowners can have dozens of connections wasting electricity even when systems are powered off. Fortunately, Shipley Energy is here to show you how you can manage electricity “vampires” by implementing our tips and tricks into your daily routine.
5.) Replace old lights with LED lights
LED is a highly energy-efficient lighting technology, and has the potential to fundamentally change the future of lighting in the United States. Residential LEDs -- especially ENERGY STAR rated products -- use at least 75% less energy, and last up to 25 times longer, than incandescent lighting. Widespread use of LED lighting has a large potential impact on energy savings in the United States. By 2035, the majority of lighting installations are anticipated to use LED technology, and energy savings from LED lighting could top 569 TWh annually by 2035, equal to the annual energy output of more than 92 1,000 MW power plants.
