<p style="text-align: justify;">When homeowners receive their energy bill each month or so, they&rsquo;re likely scratching their head and wondering why so much power is being consumed in their home.</p> <p style="text-align: justify;">The following is a list of the top energy-consuming appliances possibly in your home:</p> <ul style="text-align: justify;"> <li>Refrigerator/Freezers&nbsp;&ndash; This appliance runs all day, every single day, making them the largest energy consumers. Check your unit to see if there is a power-saver switch available.</li> <li>Air Conditioning&nbsp;&ndash; If you have a central air system, a large amount of energy is needed to change your home&rsquo;s temperature. Air conditioning, which typically uses high-watt machines for extended periods of time, accounts for a big chunk of residential energy use. A programmable thermostat will enable you to limit the amount of energy used to maintain a comfortable temperature in your home.</li> <li>Microwave&nbsp;&ndash; This appliance consumes the most energy when they&rsquo;re not being used, requiring power to illuminate the clock and maintain the electronic push button controls in standby mode. If you have an old model, it&rsquo;s time to upgrade and take advantage of the energy efficiency capabilities.</li> <li>Chargers&nbsp;&ndash; In today&rsquo;s society, we almost completely rely on our smartphones and computers for practically everything. If you&rsquo;re looking for a charger that saves power, check if they advertise energy efficiency.</li> <li>Cable boxes&nbsp;&ndash; Another device that continuously uses power since they communicate with external sources.</li> <li>Gaming Consoles&nbsp;&ndash; While Playstation and Xbox consoles are equipped with energy saving standby modes, using these devices to play games or watch movies results in a hefty energy bill every month.</li> </ul> <p style="text-align: justify;">Sorce: Lightning Bug Electric</p> <p style="text-align: justify;">&nbsp;</p>
