One Idea for Reducing Your Energy Costs
August 5, 2010
August is the month most of us cringe when we open our electric bills. Running an air conditioner or increasing the time your pool motor is running, can have a huge effect on your electric bill.
However, according to a recent flyer from Southern California Edison, 70% of the energy used in your home is for appliances. SCE is offering a Refrigerator and Freezer Recycling Program to encourage folks to recycle these two major appliances.
If you have a spare refrigerator in the garage, it may well be old and inefficient. You can recycle it for free through the SCE program. They will pick it up and give you $50 to get rid of it. If you also have an older refrigerator in use in your kitchen, now is a good time to purchase a new ENERGY STAR - qualified refrigerator or freezer. SCE will give you a $50 rebate and haul away your old fridge for free.
You can contact SCE on the Internet: www.se.com/pickup or call 1800-234-9722 Monday through Friday between 2 a.m. and 6 p.m.
Southern California Edison also has a program that can help reduce your costs by allowing them to place a monitoring device on your compressor unit. This device gives them the power to shut down your air conditioner if there is a huge demand for electricity during the hot weather. This program is really not invasive and does reduce your electric costs.
