Saving Electricity in Your Bedroom when you find your Atlanta Dream home

  • Turn on electric blankets an hour before you go to bed and turn them off when you get in.
  • Adjust the thermostat on your electric heater to the minimum comfortable setting. Learn to just take the chill off rather than heat the room. Wear warmer clothing inside so you don't have to leave heaters running for long period.
  • If you have ducted air conditioning, turn it off in the bedrooms for the long periods during the day when you're not in the room.
  • Keep heaters clean by removing dust and fluff from the fan and reflective surfaces.
  • If you have a water bed, adjust the electric heater thermostat up or down to suit the season and always keep the bed well covered.

Atlanta home Smoke Detector Tips

  • Replace batteries twice a year. If you choose the times that you have to change the clocks, you won't forget. Make it a family affair so the kids will remember how important the smoke detectors are.
  • Make sure that your smoke detector is still in working order. Some need to be replaced every 7 to 10 years.
  • If your smoke detector goes off because of a "false alarm" such as cooking, smoking, steam or dust, don't remove the battery. Fan the smoke away and open a window. You might forget to put the battery back in later and leave your house unprotected.
  • Install at least one smoke detector in the hall outside all bedrooms.
  • Make sure you have enough smoke detectors for the entire house.
  • Use only smoke detectors approved by an Underwriters' Laboratory or other recognized testing lab
