National Grid offers tips for a green holiday season
With the holidays rapidly approaching, National Grid is offering customers the following tips to save energy and money on winter heating bills for a “greener” holiday season: Using the smallest appliance for the job while cooking during the holidays will always save energy. Microwave ovens use less than half the energy required by a conventional oven. To improve oven efficiency, keep the doors closed as much as possible and bake several dishes at the same time and temperature. Every time the door is opened, heat escapes. Use the smallest pan and burner needed for the job. Cook with lids on your pans. For example, cooking pasta without a lid on the pot can use three times as much energy. If the oven self-cleans, turn it on just after taking out the holiday cookie cut outs, while the oven is still hot. Consider replacing older strings of holiday lights with more energy efficient LED lights. Also, try reducing the number of strings of lights this season.
