Gadgets to save energy and money!

**************************Update**************************

      Hello all,

                      Just an update follow my first post on quick tips to help you save energy. This post will pertain to a  great thing to invest in that will save you a bundle of money. 

• First on the list is an electric heater or space heater as some may call it. If you have ever heard bad about these products you are sadly mistaken. I always used to think they would cost me a fortune to run and I would not gain anything on them, but the truth is they actually save you money. Now if you have read my guide  "quick tips to saving energy" then you will know where I am going with this if not be sure to read it although i will explain the basic concepts here as well. Now a huge factor in all of this is temperature regulation (managing your thermostat better). I won't go into detail but simply put lower the temperature of your bedrooms via thermostat *Note you can only do this if your house is zoned in that manner for more information check out my blog quick tips for energy saving* if you cannot do this than no worries it is just another step. Now, when you go to purchase one of these heater you do not need a huge son of a gun heater. You can purchase one around the size of a toaster or even a stereo. Most of these are commonly rated at a maximum output of 1500W. This is standard and is the best way to go. Running one of these in a  bedroom no matter the size unless it is a more than average bedroom , say 30x35 that's a little to much that's a living area., will only costs you $1 per 8 hours ran. If you are not in your bedroom all day why bother running it; simply turn it on when you come home from work or school,  takes no longer than an hour to completely heat a room and then you can let it run all night.  Now you can sleep comfortably and save money in the process. The last question your asking me now is well this sounds great and all but how much will one of this run me? The one I have sitting behind me I picked up at menard's for $30 and it works great. They can range from $15 to $100 . Some come with digital displays and remote controls ; some like the one I  have regulates fan speed and temperature all you need. BE SURE TO GET ONE THAT REGULATES TEMPATURE AND NOW ONE ON A TIMER!!!! THE ONES ON TIMERS CAN CONSTANTLY RUN AND RUN WHICH IS NOT GOOD SAFETY WISE AND SAVING WISE. THE TEMPERATURE CONTROLLED ONES REACT TO THE TEMPATURE IN THE ROOM ADJUSTED TO SUITE YOUR NEEDS. THUS THEY DON'T CONSTANTLY RUN!!!!
