Tips for Lowering Your Energy Bill
-
Consider a cold wash.
Switching your temperature setting from hot to cold can cut energy use in half for washing one load.
-
Open your shades on sunny days.
Taking advantage of the daylight can help make a dent in your heating costs.
-
Keep ducts and vents clean.
Your heating system will run more efficiently, and it might last longer.
-
Take showers instead of baths
Showers use half as much water as baths. Less hot water means less energy used.
-
Beware of vampire voltage.
Many electronics continue to draw power even when they’re turned off. Be sure to unplug devices when you’re done.
-
Lower your thermostat.
Each degree over 68°F can increase your energy usage by 3 percent.
