Answer 1

Of course.  When ever you turn off something using energy, you are saving tonnes of emissions being released into the atmosphere!  You should find out when the peak times for energy consumption are in our area and avoid using appliances, stc during these hours.  Every little bit counts!

Answer 2

Answer 8

Aside from cost considerations, each of us has the

responsibility to minimize energy usage for

environmental reasons.  Any electricity you DON'T

use means less air pollution.  Each individual's part

is small, but it adds up.

On the money side, you can estimate the amount using

You'll need to know how many watts the unit uses

and your electricity cost per kilowatt-hour.

But basically it comes down to this:

when the unit is on it costs you money,

and when it is off it does not.

For example:

Using round numbers, if the unit uses 1000 watts

and your electricity costs 10c /kwh, then

running it 8 hours/night will cost you 80c/night or

about $24/month or $288/year.
