26. Weights and Measures
There are foam gaskets for light switches and outlets which are easy to install if everything is not painted over.I put weatherstrip on my doors also,afterward the air conditioner changed cycle time and my towels dried faster in my bathroom.Get an instant read meat thermometer and put it in your refrigerator,it should read 40F.Put the thermometer in a mug and let the hot tap run into it,it should read 125F.I use a 2.2 gallon per minute shower head to save hot water,head has on/off button which I turn off while soaping up.I heard setting computer monitor refresh rate to 60Hz lowers energy consumption but flicker bothers some people,it does produce less heat.
