10 Ways to Help Lower Your Electric Bill



Our electric bill never seems to be the same every month, not even close, I am not sure how that works because for the most part we do everything the same every month.

I go crazy when lights are on if they don't need to be. I use the natural light during the day (which they say not to) however I do. Come night fall the only light on in my house is one kitchen light. It is enough light to of course light up my kitchen and to have some shining in my living room. My law is if you're not in a room the light should be off. I also have all my small appliances unplugged when they are not in use. What you will read below is what I found on a electric website.

1. Use a programmable thermostat
2. Extra-insulate your home (if you can afford to have it done)
3. Wear comfortable clothing (if you get cold easily dress on the warm side, if you get warm easily dress on the cool side).
4. Replace your air filter every 3-6 months
5. Lower the temperature on the water heater
6. Balance electricity use by using appliances strategically
7. Save electricity by washing clothes in cold water
8. Reduce heat waste by checking doors and windows for leaks.
9. Check that all your appliances work properly
10. Consider a prepaid electric bill plan

    You could also add hanging cloths to dry instead of using the dryer when you can
