Energy Active

The Get Energy Active website offers an interesting look at conserving electricity from The Edison Electric Institute (EEI), the association of U.S. shareholder-owned electric companies. They have an interactive house image with ways to save energy. Most we know about, but there are a few tips new to me. Like this one for a water heater: "Once a year, drain a bucket of water from the bottom of the water heater tank. This gets rid of sediment, which can waste energy by 'blocking' the water in the tank from the heating element." Worth a look to see if any are useful to you!
