I would love to replace my old washer and dryer but I can't afford to. We have some draft spots in our house that needs some fixing but it's all very costly. We do the best we can.

Thank you very my those were very helpful especially turning off and unplugging. I just want to point out # 4 should be change all lighting to LED whenever possible its the most efficient in terms of consumption. We also now use an induction type stove for electric cooking instead of the conventional or a microwave oven.
