Ambit Energy Provides Tips to Cool Down Your Home and Save Money

Ambit Energy is offering the following energy conservation tips to "beat the heat" and soaring utility rates by providing simple home improvements:

    --  Replace your home's incandescent lights with compact fluorescent light
        bulbs (CFLs) to save more than $60 a year in energy costs.
    --  Unplug infrequently used DVD players, VCRs and cordless phones which use
        40 percent of their energy while in the "off" position to power
        functions like clocks and remote controls.
    --  Turn thermostats back 10 to 15 percent for at least eight hours a day
        and save as much as 10 percent a year on your heating and cooling bills.
    --  According to a U.S. Department of Energy study, carefully-positioned
        north- or west-facing trees can save up to 25 percent of the energy a
        typical household uses. Research shows that summer daytime air
        temperatures can be 3° to 6° cooler in tree-shaded neighborhoods than
        in treeless areas.
    --  Compare costs: Thanks to the recent deregulation of energy markets such
        as Texas, Illinois, New York, Pennsylvania and Maryland, residents in
        those states have the power to choose their energy provider, which means
        better options, opportunities and affordable energy. To save even more,
        Ambit Energy offers a "Free Energy" referral program at
        www.AmbitEnergy.com.
