hi I’m patty Kim from home theaters to
plush sofas hands down the family room
is the coolest place to relax but what
makes this area such an amazing retreat
for entertainment could also be adding
dollars to your power bill and be
affecting your health we hear some easy
ways to trim energy and take out tosses
more and more flat screen TVs digital
video recorders and theater sound
systems are becoming essential home
fixtures the nest of plugs and wires
behind the console is testament to how
these gadgets are the fastest growing
source of electricity use in the home
strangely enough a good ten percent or
more of your power bill is actually
spend on not using them what do I mean
well if you’ve got a lot of those
electronic devices at home watch out
because they’re they’re kind of like
vampires they’re sucking power even when
they’re turned off televisions computers
set-top boxes and other digital devices
all sip electricity to power clocks easy
on features and little glowing lights
you can slay your vampires by unplugging
devices when not in use or use power
strips to switch off multiple devices
when outlets are in hard-to-reach areas
if you’re expanding the home
entertainment system consider how much
electricity you’ll be consuming the
biggest power guzzler is the television
LCD TVs generally consumed less energy
than CRTs while plasmas can use as much
power as your fridge and when you add on
all the peripherals of DVD players and
game consoles you may be increasing your
electricity bill by an extra ten percent
having a happy living space is also
about having a healthy one traditionally
making family rooms comfortable as
included wall-to-wall carpet makes a
room feel so much cozier doesn’t it no
wonder people love carpet but the one
thing you might not realize about carpet
is that it’s actually been identified as
a potential health hazard you see all
the tiny fibers of a carpet can trap
things like mold dust pesticide and
you’re going to love this droppings of
dust mites yep I’m totally serious and
all of that can trigger allergies which
is a lot of fun fibers backings and glue
made from synthetic petroleum products
are known to give off volatile organic
chemicals and can cause irritation
the key to having a carpet is actually
cleaning it and cleaning it thoroughly
and often using a vacuum cleaner like
this one with a true HEPA filter is a
powerful way to remove those dust
particles and clean the air to these
filters are able to remove 99% of
allergen particles a nice alternative to
carpet is hardwood wood floors made from
renewable sources like for stewardship
council certified hardwood bamboo or
cork tiles are all good choices
following these easy little tips will
help you and your family breathe easier
and help create a safer and healthier
environment and while you do that I’m
going to watch the rest of this movie
