Attick Fans

Atricks fans can greatly reduce cooling cost in the summer. They are to be mounted in the attick on one of the gable ends of the house over a vent if you do not have a vent one must be installed. Attick fans comes with a thermostat already wired in it so that it will only come one when a certain temperature is reached. Moving all the hot air out of the attick will keep help keep your house cooler and the air unit from working so hard. If I had to pick just one project to reduce your power bill in the summer months it would be install a attick fan which can be found at your local Home Depo and prices range from $75.00 to $125.00 but it will easily pay for itself in two to three months.

Water Heaters

Most water heaters the temperature is set to high, there is no reason to have it hot enough to scald your skin. If you set the temperature down about 8 degrees you will save on an average of $35.00 a month. The access panel in the front of the heater is held on by one hex head screw and once removed you will see a square box with a little dial in the middle, if you look close you will see numbers above the dial turn it counter clockwise about A 1/8 of an inch and then replace cover.
