Answer
1.Check your air filter once a month by holding it up to a bright light. If you can't see through it, it's time to clean or replace the filter.
2.Use ceiling fans rather than the air conditioner when possible.
3.Close curtains and blinds to help keep the sun out in the summer.
4.Make sure there are no cracks around doors and windows.
5.Avoid cooling rooms that are not occupied.
6.Improving attic ventilation and insulation can lower the temperature of your home during hot summer days. Also consider installing an attic fan to dispense hot air.
7.Raising the thermostat to 78 degrees can save on cooling costs.
8.Awnings, trees and large shrubs near windows all help to block out the heat from your home.
9.Avoid opening and closing doors. Heat enters and the cold air escapes.
10.Open curtains and blinds to let the sun warm your home in the winter.
11.Keep drapes closed at night to keep warm air indoors.
12.Check your air filter once a month. Replace dirty filters regularly.
13.Ensure that your home has proper insulation in walls, ceilings and floors.
14.Storm windows and doors prevent warm air from escaping.
15.Keep your fireplace damper closed when not in use.
16.Keep your thermostat at the lowest temperature comfortable for you.
17.Avoid opening and closing doors. Cold air enters and the heated air escapes.
18.Turn lights off when you leave a room.
19.Use a timer or motion detector for outdoor lighting to turn it off when not needed.
20.Keep your light fixtures clean.
21.Fluorescent bulbs last 10 times longer and use 75% less electricity.
22.Use your microwave when possible to heat food rather than your stove or oven.
23.Make sure your oven door and refrigerator doors seal when closed.
24.Make sure you turn off your oven and stove top after cooking.
25.Using a small pan on a large burner wastes energy and can be a safety hazard.
26.Cooking with a lid on your pan, keeps the heat inside and speeds up cooking time.
27.Use a toaster oven to cook small items.
28.Avoid opening the oven door while cooking. It lowers the oven temperature.
29.Avoid running the dishwasher until it is full.
30.Open the dishwasher after the rinse cycle and let your dishes air dry instead of using the heated drying cycle.
31.Check your refrigerator door seal to ensure that the door does not leak cold air.
32.Clean refrigerator condenser coils in the back and bottom to increase efficiency.
33.Be careful not to block the freezer fan that allows cold air to circulate.
34.Refrigerator temperature should be 36-38 degrees.
35.Refrigerator freezer temperature should be 0-5 degrees.
36.If possible, locate your refrigerator away from heating vents.
37.Insulate your water heater and hot water pipes.
38.Lower your water heater temperature. 110 to 120 degrees is sufficient.
39.Use a âflow controlâ device on your showerheads and sink faucets to regulate hot water usage.
40.Avoid washing clothes until you have a full load.
41.Use a cold water detergent. The temperature of the water used during the rinse cycle will not make your clothes any cleaner.
42.Dry laundry loads one immediately after the other to use left over heat efficiently.
43.By reducing drying time, you can save energy and extend the life of your fabrics.
44.Moisture sensing dryers shut off automatically when your clothes are dry.
45.Clean out the dryer lint filter often to ensure proper air flow and shorter dry times.
46.Turn your computer off at night.
47.If you have a pool, set the pump to the minimum time required for the time of year. You do not need to run the pump as long in the winter as you do in the summer.
48.Consider a solar heater for your pool.
49.Turn off the hot tub when not in use.
50.Unplug cell phones, cameras, lap tops, etc. when charged.

Be green!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Pacific Beach / San Diego Hotels?




Selena


I need a either a Pacific Beach Hotel or Downtown San Diego Hotel.
Maybe around $100 per night? Or less? Less would be nice :3
It must have:
- pool
- 1 room for three adults,
- Friday to Saturday (7/15/11 - 7/17/11)

Around 3 stars, unless personal experience was good there
Thank you!



Answer
Well, it seems your reservation is a bit late for the dates you choose, for most hotels receive advance reservation via internet. The locations you prefer are always crowded with people on weekendsâ¦.And also, you can not expect cheap rates for the dates and locations you prefer, just too late!!

After a good and time-consuming search, I really got some hotels meeting your needs..hohoâ¦

Best Western Plus San Diego Miramar Hotel, a 2.5 star hotel located in suburban and offers convenient access to a variety of key attractions like San Diego Zoo, SeaWorld and San Diego Wide Animal Park.. As you are 3 persons in one room, I suggest you to choose Standard 2 Queens which starts from $126 per night. This hotel features:

- outdoor swimming popl
- hot tub
- complimentary breakfast
- complimentary high-speed internet access

So I think it is pretty good and of great value.

In addition:

** Days Inn San Diego South Bay (2 stars, from $93 per night)
** Super 8 Motel San Diego South Bay (2 stars, from $85 per night )
** American Best Value Inn & Suites (2.5 stars, from $80 per night)
** Hampton Inn San Diego Downtown (2.5 stars, from $169 per night)

Btw: be quick to make reservations! Rooms available at the above hotels are just several.

Hope you GOOD LUCK!!!!
