 Our homes heating and cooling devices are surprisingly the biggest energy drains and suck up at least 30 percent of household usage the main culprit is the constantly used and important refrigerator , to keep your temperature good you should start by avoiding the common mistake of over stocking the top storage of your fridge this will block the circulation which will force the compressor to work a lot harder therefore draining more energy.

Instead of storing your leftovers straight away wait for them to cool down and make sure there well covered before storing them away. Make sure to clean your fridge at least every 6 months or so and remember to vacuum the coils.

Induction cooktops are a great way to save energy at least 40 – 70 percent to be exact, they offer temperature control and a cooktop which stays cool, they are more expensive then the ordinary cooktops but prices are sure to fall rapidly when they become more popular and the competition increases.
