How to reduce your electricity bill

If you have been bogged by the enormous electricity bills you have been getting, it is time to take some concrete steps. You can reduce your electricity bills by following very simple steps.

This article will list some simple, easy-to-do things to reduce your electricity bill.

Limited use: Start with the room you are sitting in. If you were to take a call in another room or join your family at the dining table, would you just step out of your room without any concern for the electrical appliances in the room? If you would, stop right there, and look around. Switch off all the appliances even if you would be back in five minutes. Yes, even that will help. Every drop of water constitutes to the ocean.

Another thing to take care of here is what you perceive as an electronic appliance. Would you switch off the television set, turn off the fan, but not the light bulb? Yes, you need light, but not now when you are leaving the room. Taking care of these small things will go a long way in reducing the dreaded huge electricity bills.

Smart investments: Make some smart power investments by replacing your incandescent bulbs with compact fluorescent light (CFL) bulbs. These bulbs are a great power-saving investment.

Buy the Power Save gadget. The gadget helps monitor the power supply to your house and uses the minimum that is needed.

Home appliance usage: Most of us complain that the electricity bill touches the sky because of the number of electrical appliances they have at home. However, the electricity bill is not directly proportional to the number of gadgets you use but the way you use them. Let=92s see how you can avoid the typical power-wasters.

=95 Use the washing machine only when there is a full load of clothes. =95 Keep the geyser on for the minimal amount of time. =95 Keep the air-conditioner at the minimum low or high temperature, just enough to keep you off the heat or the cold outside. =95 Switch off the computer monitor even when you take a one-minute break. It takes just a second to switch on the monitor again!

Yeah, you have to stick to this way of life for saving power at home and for the world.

Remember, reducing your electricity bill is equivalent to saving power, thus helping the world save power for its future generations.

It'll reduce the electricity bill, yes. But what about the cost of replacing appliances whose life is reduced by being switched off and on unnecessarily.

See above.

They'll cost more, a lot more, than the value of the electricity produced. Better to put that money on deposit, and use the interest to pay the electricity bill.

If the guy on the web site ("Michael Harvey") is real and really did write the book and produce the videos, I suspect he'd make far more money selling it for about $9.97 than $49.97.

One of the popular "strike it rich on the Internet!" schemes going around these days is just selling people eBook -- other than the cost of web hosting, whicih can often be had for no more than a few bucks per month, after setting up the web pages it's just all profit. In many cases the eBooks being sold are available freely elsewhere; it's also not uncommon to find someone selling copyrighted materials that they don't actually own the rights to.

Wow, it clearly is a -- pretty sophisticated -- marketing scam (in the sense that this Michael Harvey guy doesn't really exist -- who knows if the actual book is any good?). They have some bogus reviews of three different packages -- that I'm sure are all largely identical -- here:

... which lead to three very similar web sites (both "Earth 4 Energy" and "Home Made Power Plant" use the annoying talking woman anchored to the bottom-right corner of your web browser). Also note that in their "comparison table" the "our rating" row doesn't correspond to the average of the individual metrics! They've gone to great effort to pack Google with their own results... "Michael Harvey Earth 4 Energy scam" links to (among many others) www://scam-busters.biz/Michael-Harvey ... which just re-directs you right back to the original web page!

I hadn't heard of scam-busters.biz... going to their home page, it appears that they specifically offer the service of getting Google queries related to whether or not you're a scam to just take the user back to your own site. On the home page there they have links back to Earth 4 Energy, a guy promising to dissolve your kidney stones, one offering to cure your eczema, etc...

I suppose all of this is one notch up from begging in the streets...
