D & M Alternative Energy

Are you thinking of leasing your solar system? A leaser will save you $20-30 per month, but you can save just as much taking simple steps to conserve in your home. If you’re looking to substantially cut costs with a system of your own, call us at D&M Alternative Energy. Forget the small sum you’ll save with a lease: try the 7 steps listed below to minimize costs while we design an installation that fits your needs and lines your wallet. 1. Change your light bulbs to CFL, or b...etter yet, LED lights; 2. Turn off all lights when you leave the room and use a nightlight when possible; 3. Try to avoid using an outside flood light. They drain power quickly and often unnecessarily; 4. Reduce your outside motion timer light down to 1-3 minutes; 5. Plug all TV wires, etc. into a surge strip and turn the surge strip off instead of your TV; 6. If your appliances are older than 10 years think about replacing then. Your utility supplier may offer a rebate and; 7. If you have an electric hot water heater set the temp to 110 degrees. By following these steps you could save an average of $25 a month without a 20 year leasing contract.
