Does Daylight Saving Time save energy?
Daylight Saving Time kicks back in this weekend. We “spring ahead” on Sunday, losing an hour of sleep that we’ll retrieve when we “fall back” in November. Back in 2005, lawmakers extended daylight saving time by four weeks in an effort to conserve energy. It officially started in 2007. But there are arguments each way as to whether it works. KSBY News Reporter Monica Quintero will have a closer …

Daylight Saving Time is right around the corner. It’s meant to save energy but does it? There are mixed reviews. Back in 2005, the Federal Energy Policy Act was passed extending Daylight Saving Time by four weeks. The first extension went into place in 2007. Again, it was all designed to save energy.

Tampa Bay?s APPLIANCE REPAIR SPECIALISTS Offers New Concept: Energy Saving Technology = Saving Money

March 10th, 2010

Lance Kimball from Appliance Repair Specialists of Tampa, said, “appliances account for about 20 percent of a household’s annual electricity use.”  Since most of our nation’s electricity is generated from fossil fuels (such as coal and natural gas), which contribute to global warming and air and water pollution, replacing older appliances with more efficient models can amount to a huge home energy saving. However, these appliances are only as efficient as the person using them. 

No matter what model of energy saving devices you own, there are easy ways to make sure it is using as little electricity as possible.  For example, your washer and dryer: WASHER REPAIR TIPS If machine is dead… Make sure the lid is closed properly. Make sure the timer and all of the controls are set properly. Make sure both water faucets are turned on.

Tech Tip – Follow the proper loading procedure and machine operation.

Tech Tip – Never overload the machine. DRYER REPAIR TIPS If the clothes are not getting dry… Make sure the dryer is not pushed back against the rear exhaust duct causing an air flow restriction. Make sure the clothes are coming out of the washer spun damp dry. If the washer is not spinning the clothes damp dry, the dryer will not dry the clothes in a normal amount of time.

Tech Tip – Follow the proper loading procedure and machine operation.

Tech Tip – Never overload the dryer.
