Conservation Programs
One of the first things to determine is how much energy do I use? EnergyStar answers the question Where Does My Energy Money Go? By looking at where energy dollars go in the average household you can begin to focus on certain areas that can help you save energy and dollars.
By looking at your most recent electric bill you can see how many kilowatts you used last month and over the past thirteen months. Ask yourself is it in line with what you used this month last year. If it has increased could it be because an appliance is breaking down and it is taking more energy to keep it working? Or are your conservaton efforts working and you can see a reduction?
The average household in Wellesley uses over 990 kWh per month. While the average in Massachusetts (non-electric heating) household uses just over 550 kWh. Where do you fall in this mix?
