		<description><![CDATA[Do Fans Reduce Energy Bills? If you live in a hot climate like I do, or even a place where the summers get very warm, a fan really can help you stay cooler in the summer while using less energy for your A/C. Keep in mind, though, that fans cool off people by blowing air on our skin. They don&#8217;t really make a room cooler. So it is a good idea to shut the fans off in rooms that are not in use. However, this is a big advantage. Most of us in hot climates have central air, so our whole house must be cooled if a room is cooled. Of course you can go around shutting vents, but that is probably not something you do. And a fan does not take that much power to run, and can probably be operated for pennies a day. So a room that would only be comfortable at 72 degrees without a fan could be comfortable at 79 degrees with a fan. In fact, I&#8217;d say you could raise your thermastat about 5 degrees if you had a fan. Now ceiling fans may cost $50 &#8211; $100 or more, and you may have [...]

		<description><![CDATA[Real Ways To Lower Your Electric and Gas Bill We have already discussed rising gasoline prices, and we&#8217;ve discussed the associated increase in groceries. However, your home utility bills are certain to spike just like gasoline prices do. In my part of the world we are just starting a long, hot summer, and that&#8217;s red alarm electricity bill time for us. Other parts of the world worry more about home heating. And of course, lighting and appliances, use energy all year long! Of course, you can find hundreds of ways to save energy. I am listing the ways that cost very little to do. Solar Lighting and Heating Has Arrived OK, it is still very expensive to outfit your whole home for solar power, but many inexpensive solar powered devices are on the market. I saw very affordable solar powered outdoor lighting at my local target store, and then checked it out on EBay. Since I needed some outdoor lights for the evening, I made an order, and I&#8217;m very excited about it. The lights charge all day, and then automatically turn themselves on at dusk. They are simple to install since they do not need to be hooked up [...]
