Lower Your Electric Bill this Summer

With summer coming out this month, there is clearly no doubt that electric bill for the whole month of summer will boost up. It is a problem for a lot of people because sometimes, their bills exceed their expectations. This is why here are some tips in order to help you lower you bill this summer.

First things first, make sure to unplug your appliances when not in use because as you know, even though you’re not using an appliance but is plugged, it is still consuming electricity which continuously adds up to your bill making it higher. This is the best tip for anyone who wants to lower their bill this summer.

Another thing, when one uses a reading light, like when reading a  cigar magazines, the main light should be off. In that way, you can also save in your electric consumption.

Tips On Cleaning Your Refrigerator

We all know that refrigerator is one of the most important part of our kitchen. For a family of 4 kids like mine, I need to maintain my ref as full and as clean as possible. We usually do our food shopping every two weeks then place the produce on the ref and the meats on the freezer. I have a two door ref, I can’t remember the height, but it is big enough to accommodate our weekly food needs.

Since I buy food every two weeks, as much as possible, I also clean the ref before putting the food there. If I am not in the mood to clean it, I at least wipe it a little. And because our ref is upstairs, sometimes there  are leftovers that we forgot. It’s a sad case but we have no other choice but to disregard of those left overs.

I read somewhere that cleaning ref should be done at least every two weeks and should be cleaned overall every month. If your ref has a water dispenser and uses electrolux refrigerator filter, you might want to clean it more often.

When cleaning the ref, take out everything in there, food and racks and trays that are removable. Clean the racks and tray separately and wipe it dry. Clean the inside of the ref using a wet clothe. Do not use a dish washing liquid in cleaning your ref. If your ref smells bad, try placing a charcoal inside as it absorbs the bad smell.

 

Clean. Wash. Dance

There was a time that I don’t  have a helper. I do all the chores and one thing that I noticed. Everything is easier when it is done with music. Even washing the dishes which I do not like, it was easier. Now I thank my husband for buying so many speakers. I can put on loud music anytime I want. If he ask me for phono preamp, I think I will have to say yes too.

Singing At Home

And with the little girl singing almost everything, I am thinking she would someday ask for a lavalier microphone. I have been planning, actually to buy a videoke mic. I know the boys would also like singing here in the house. As you know, Filipinos love anything about singing and the videoke mic is just perfect to practice singing here at home.

The Benefits of Portable Air Conditioners

The portable air conditioner has always been underestimated and considered only as a second choice to the bigger air conditioners that need to be installed. However there are many benefits in getting the portable kind.

Air conditioners that are portable are a lot more affordable than the traditional type that has to be installed. Just the fact that you won’t have to create a hole through your wall and a buy specialized socket to power a traditional air conditioner means that you are saving more money with the portable kind. And it when it comes to your electric bill, portable air conditioners are a lot more energy efficient, using only a fraction of what a traditional air conditioner would use. Portable air conditioners are also lot more convenient simply because you can bring them to any room that needs it. You won’t have to buy several air conditioners when you can just move one around.
