Changing you habits to improve the efficiency of your electric motors is not hard, and yet it still yields significant benefits for both the environment and your energy bills. Most household appliances consume high rates of energy, meaning that there are dozens of opportunities around your house for you to save power and money.

By choosing appliances fitted with energy efficient electric motors you can immediately begin reducing the production of greenhouses gases as well as energy consumption in your own home. If you are not willing to buy new appliances for your home just yet, there are still various different ways you can reduce stress on your electric motors at home.

• Avoid using the heater or air conditioner when possible, but in very hot or cold weather, try turning the thermostat up a little higher or lower than normal to reduce your energy consumption.
  
  
• Whether you insulate your house or your hot water system, you will be saving energy by keeping heat in where it should be, and reducing the amount of energy your electric motor must consume to generate more.
   
• Remember that your electricity usage isn't at all visible, and that there are many hidden ways your household might be unnecessarily consuming energy. These include appliances left on standby as well as mobile phone chargers left connected to the power outlet.
   
• Combining methods to reach the most energy efficient solution for your home is often a successful technique. You can, for example, combine highly efficient electric motors with power sourced from solar panels to ensure that you consume as little non-renewable energy as possible.
