Tips to Lower Your Electricity Bill

Tips to Lower Your Electricity Bill

 

  • Keep blinds and curtains closed; they serve as a great insulator.
  • Change the filters in the air conditioners and furnaces since it keeps the system running at optimum efficiency and keeps the air in your home cleaner too.
  • Plant shade trees especially on the side of the house that gets the most sun.
  • Use timers to turn lights on and off for when you are not around; it is better than leaving a light on constantly.
  • Unplug appliances and electronics since some of these items tend to keep using a little electricity even when turned off.
  • Adjust the temperature before leaving the house or going to bed.
  • Use compact fluorescent bulbs even if they cost a little more than regular bulbs. They last 10 times longer and use a lot less electricity to burn.
