The average Las Vegan, homeowner utility's cost, to keep their food and

  other perishable foot items fresh is approximately 8% of their monthly electric bill.

This month's Energy Miser Tip has (4) items you should check on a monthly basis

to help you reduce that cost a few dollars, and may take less than 5 minutes to complete.

 (1) check is the
gaskets on the doors of your refrigerator, Check to make sure the gaskets are
not cut or flattened. Next take a dollar bill insert it between the gasket
& the refrigerator & close the door. If you can pull the dollar bill
out with little resistance you need to replace the door gaskets. (2) Next clean
the coils underneath the refrigerator with your vacuum cleaner. (3) If you have
a refrigerator on your patio or in your garage, consider this, that when it is
over 95 degrees outside that appliance consumes a lot more electricity. You may
want to consider unplugging it and using a cooler when you entertain. (4) If at
all possible try to keep your freezer full this will help reduce the run time
of the compressor.  

 So do yourself & your wallet a favor and check these items monthly!!!
