Electricity is an additional expense for any family so we must do the best that we can to minimize the cost.
• Set air conditioner low during the cold months and during summer minimize the use of air conditioner by utilizing electric fans if it is not so warm

• Wipe dishes with cloth after washing dishes instead of using the dish dryer

• Computer and lights must be turned off when not in use. You can also use the sleep feature of your TV or any other appliance.

• Unplug appliances when not in use.

• Iron only at least once a week.

• Minimize doing the laundry everyday. If possible do it in full load at least once a week.

Keep in mind that a bit of planning is necessary. It is imperative that lighting must highlight architectural features and plants, and provide better access to paths, walkways, and steps. Approximate the areas where you will put the lights and add about 3 inches at the ends so you will be able to modify it later on. Ultimately, to buy the correct amount of wiring, you must compute the total footage of the area you will light.
