A Tip From WAPA To Save $$ On Your Home Energy Bill
 TURN OFF FANS YOU ARE NOT USING
= $28 savings Consider turning off the fans when you leave the room. Most homes have multiple
fans and each one uses about 100 Watts of electricity. By leaving them on all the
time, the money really adds up. If you have 3 fans and leave each one on 24 hours
per day, the energy cost for using them is $69 per month. If you turn the 3 fans off
when you are not home, using them 10 hours less each day, you will save over $28
per month.
Calculations are based upon the August 1 LEAC charge and combined rate of 32¢ per kWh for a typical 500 kWh per month residential customer.
