lesson in energy
efficiency for students
Students starting univer-
sity and college may have
graduated high school, but
they may not have received
an education in energy
efficiency.
Hydro One has a quick, 10
step lesson to help students
keep electricity costs down
for the upcoming school
year.
• When researching an
apartment or house to rent,
find out if your electricity bill
is included in your rent or if
you are billed separately.
Study the Time -of -Use
schedule and use high elec-
tricity -use appliances like
the dishwasher, space
heater, stove and dryer dur-
ing off-peak hours as much
as possible.
Regularly review your
electricity usage by setting
up an online account at
www.HydroOne.com/MyAc-
count to track your electric-
ity consumption by the hour.
• When you leave for class,
make sure all unnecessary
lights are turned off.
• After pulling an all-night
cram session, turn off your
computer and laptop.
• Remember science
class? Electricity is drawn
from household gadgets,
electronic devices and appli-
ances even when not in use.
Plug appliances and
equipment that are not used
constantly into a power bar
with an off switch for an easy
and quick way to turn them
all off.
• Get an honorary conser-
vation degree by trapping
the heat in your home in the
winter.
• Keep doors and windows
closed, hang thick -lined cur-
tains to keep the heat in and
install weather stripping
around the doors to get an
A+.
• Get additional credit for
limiting your use of air con-
ditioning. Keep your home
or apartment cool in the
summer by opening win-
dows at night when it is
cooler and closing blinds
during the day to keep the
heat out. Consider using a
fan to cool down, especially
during peak hours. Air con-
ditioning can use up a lot of
electricity.
• Study your taps to ensure
that you have no leaks.
Ensure that you have your
landlord fix any leaking taps
to avoid sending extra
money down the drain.
• Experiment by washing
your clothes in cold water,
during off-peak hours to
keep costs low. Clothes dry-
ers also consume a lot of
electricity so hang dry your
laundry to save on your bill.
