Replace those old appliances. You wouldn't believe how much less electricity new appliances use than your old ones. In some cases, you can make the money back on the new purchase within a year or so because you save so much on electricity.
Don't use mini-fridges. They use about the same amount of electricity as a small full size fridge does. I know some people who have 2 or 3 mini-refrigerators in their homes. When you total up the electricity from those, the y could have two full-size fridges and use less!
There are sites that help you to figure out how much power your current appliances and electronics use, so you can compare with newer ones to see whether you want to replace them. If you need help with this, check out the site below.
