Family Kilowatt Usage

At my house we use electricity for many things including but not limited to the refrigerator,  air conditioner, lighting, and television.  As you can see in the chart above the highest kilowatt usage is in July.  The reason the electricity is so high is because July is the hottest month of the year and so the air conditioner is running a lot more than usual.

Here is a short list of ways you can reduce energy use.

• Use the fan more often than the air conditioner
• Spend less time watching television
• Use natural lighting more often
