I'll be moving in with my brother soon and was wondering on if anyone's had ideas on how to save on energy costs? I'm planning on getting a rheostat and some timers for my lights and heating pads, will those help save on things? Are there types of heating bulbs or anything that are more energy efficient? I have several aquariums with filters and lights, a turtle set up with a heatlight and filter, and three snakes with heat lights. I'm also building my monitor a new enclosure in the next two weeks and will have a trio of heat lamps for his basking spot, one of which will be either a powersun type bulb or a mercury vapor. Any ideas would be great thanks.
Also, rheostats are used to control under tank heating pads right? Can anyone recommend a brand or model that is inexpensive and possibly has two outlets and controls for two different heating pads? Any suggestions for good light timers for heating lights and aquarium lights? Multiple ports will be necessary although they can have the same 12 hour day/night schedule.
Any way to cut down on ones electric bill?
