Save Money On Your Electricity Bill

Saving your hard earned cash on your next electricity bill just got easier than you ever imagined. The following 10 tips will save you money and knock your electricity bill down.

1. Be diligent about turning off lights when you leave a room.

2. Use ceiling fans or personal fans instead of air conditioning. Open your windows during the cool part of the day and use ceiling fans to help circulate the cool air.

3. Use your microwave instead of your regular oven when you can; it uses less electricity and doesn’t heat up the room.

4. Change to low wattage bulbs in your light fixtures.

5. During cold weather, after baking in your oven, turn it off and open the door, allowing the heat to help warm the room.

6. When buying new appliances, buy the most energy- efficient model you can afford.

7. Consider using insulated cutains and/or shades on your windows.

8. Try lowering the temperature on your water heater. Gradually lower it until you find the lowest temp you can live with. Even a few degrees can add up to savings on your utility bill.

9. Install an inexpensive insulated wrap on your water heater. Also, remember to just turn it off when you are going to be away from home for several days.

10. Air dry your clothes when possible. Your dryer is one of the biggest energy users in your home.
