Take Five Minutes and Save Some Electricity
 The biggest electricity user in your house is your heating and cooling system. The next biggest single energy user is
you refrigerator. However, it may not be performing up to its potential. It’s now time to fix that.
Pull out your vacuum cleaner, remove the grille at the bottom of the front of your refrigerator. Plug your vacuum cleaner in, put the longest and thinnest attachment on the end, turn it on, stick attachment in this thin and most likely filthy little space, move it around, pull it out and unclog end, reinsert. Repeat until the space it dust, dirt, and dog hair free.
Congratulations! You have just improved the efficiency of your refrigerator, and saved yourself a few bucks. Don’t forget to repeat this activity a few times a year. Now air can get to the condensing coil tucked under your refrigerator more easily.  Oops, unnecessary technical jargon.
Take one step at a time and eventually you will meet your own Net 50 (or 20) Energy Challenge.
