Save money on electricity, get rid of your ghosts!!

To save money on utilities, get rid of ghost loads!

Ghost Loads
Your “ghost load” is the electricity that is leaking out of your appliances that are plugged in, but not turned on. For example: any appliance with a digital clock is using a small amount of electricity even when the appliance itself (like your TV) isn’t being used.

I have unplugged any appliances I don’t use regularly, including; the paper shredder, TVs that aren’t used regularly, we have disconnected the clock in the oven, an electric shaver recharger, printers and faxes not in use, etc.

If you have no idea where these ghost loads may be, here’s a tip. Once it’s dark outside, turn off the lights in your house and look for the red or green (active) lights on the power strips in your home, and you’ll find electricity that’s being used all day long, even if the appliance is not! Turn these appliances off at the power strip and you can save some money on electricity.

Energetically,

Wood fired hot tub provides energy efficient summer fun all year round

A traditional hot tub (seating 3-4 people) can cost between $ 3299.00- $6499.00 installed, not including shipping costs to get the unit to your door. They increase your already sky-high electric bill (to heat the water) and use gallons of water that are used only once. You can have just as much fun soaking your bones in a self built Snorkel® hot tub. The ones that seat 3-4 people can cost as little as $2840.00, take only 3 people one day to put together and heat the water with an immersible wood fired-stove that is built right into the hot tub.
