About a month ago, my utility company sent an email letting me know that my energy consumption extremely increased, however under normal circumstances, I would be surprised by this email because I am a creature of habit as well as I’m honestly conservative when it comes to energy consumption in my home.
- Well, the reason for the increase was that I had family members staying with me for 2 weeks as well as during that time, my friend and I cooked a lot, watched lots of TV, did laundry, spent a lot of time in the air conditioner, as well as so much more, but so, naturally, with an extra 4 people in my house, this would trigger more energy consumption.
Since there was no need for alarm, I just read the email as well as deleted it from my inbox, and but in hindsight, I should have saved the email because it provided energy saving tips. It was well documented as well as provided data on where I consumed the most energy. Of course, it was from my Heating as well as Air Conditioning unit. According to the email, my Heating as well as Air Conditioning component is responsible for 51% of the energy consumption in my home. And 51% sounds like a large portion of the bill, considering all the other machines, appliances, as well as other devices that I have in my home. Aside from the refrigerator, the Heating as well as Air Conditioning component is the appliance that runs the most, so that it could keep my household comfortable. And there easily isn’t much else I can do to conserve energy. I already keep the thermostats at the recommended temperature of 71 degrees, as well as I also get the component inspected yearly. Of course, my utility company doesn’t know this, all they have is the data that they collect.
