Energy Savings Tip of the Week

 

Tip of the Week #115, May 5, 2008

When shopping for a new refrigerator or air conditioner always consider an Energy Star rated appliance.  An Energy Star refrigerator or air conditioner will cost you less to operate and you may qualify for a rebate from your local utility.  Advanced Energy Systems Development can provide you with PPL Integra motor controllers which will allow your nonEnergy Star appliance to give you Energy Star performance.

Contact Advanced Energy Systems Development, we can assess the efficiency of your electric motors and provide corrective motor controllers to reduce your energy consumption.  Advanced Energy Systems Development can also provide you with photovoltaic system designs, equipment and installation allowing you to be independent of the local Electric Utility. 

 Tip of the Week #1,  February 13, 2006

Wrap the hot water pipes leaving your boiler/furnace and the hot water storage tank with insulation.  Wrap the pipes nearest the boiler/furnace and the storage tank

Want to Save Energy?

You can cut the cost of heating and cooling your home by verifying that you have the recommended levels of insulation installed.

The Attic  Most attics are insulated only to the equivalent of R-12 to R-20 - typically, where the insulation reaches the height of the ceiling joists.  Many codes and recommenedations specify a minimum R-40 protection.  It's easy to add another layer of R-20 or R-28 batts.

The Basement  Insulating your basement is doubly smart.  Up to 20% of your homes heat can be lost through uninsulated basement walls and floors.  Finished or unfinished basement space should be insulated to R-12 to R-20 levels.

Noise Control  Insulation is the right choice to reduce the transmission of noise.  It is ideal installed in the walls of bedrooms, bathrooms,  laundry rooms, and home theatres.  Where audio insulation materials are unavailable, use an equivalent thickness of thermal insulation.

Contact Advanced Energy Systems Development we can assess the efficiency of your electric motors and provide corrective motor controllers to reduce your energy consumption.  Advanced Energy Systems Development can also provide you with photovoltaic system designs, equipment and installation allowing you to be independent of the local Electric Utility. first.  If you are concerned with the amount of money you are paying to heat your house contact Advanced Energy Systems Development, we can perform an energy audit of your residence or business and recommend energy efficiency improvements.

Running on Empty

The pain you're feeling at the pumps,

That daily need to take your lumps

And cut your fill-er-ups by half,

Might make Iraq's gas jockeys laugh-

But please don't lose your peace of mind

Because the West's being left behind,

Or hand your car keys to Al Gore

And hitchhike to the grocery store.

 

We've planted corn for ethanol,

And pray gas prices never fall,

While making sure you never switch

From cars(that's how the rich stay rich).

The God-protectd right to drive

Keeps patriotic hopes alive,

And every corn-fed tank you need

Should bring our profits up to speed.

 

By guzzling gas on Easy Street,

You'll show al-Queada we're not beat:

If life's a highway, as they say,

Then This is just the price you pay

For living in the passing lane-

The momentary gas-bar pain,

And then the wind behind your backs

To push your freedom to the max.

Replacing 5 incandescant light bulbs with equivalent Compact Flourescent Lamps(CFL) can save $60 a year in electricity costs.  Remember that the typical residence has 50 or more fixtures and lamps-you can realize significant cash savings by switching to CFLs.  You will realize these savings every year and they will increase in time as your electric rates increase.  Not all CFLs are the same, some do not work with dimmers and some will not work at lower temperatures.  CFLs will cost more than an incandescent bulb but they will last up to 10 times longer.  Overall, a switch to CFLs is an excellant investment!  Allways choose a CFL with an Energy Star approval rating.  Advanced Energy Systems can provide you with AEL and EON CFLs both of which are higher quality than what you would purchase at the local box store at a competitive price.  We will even install the CFLs for you!
