How to Bring Down your Electricity Bill at Home and in a Business

How to Bring Down your Electricity Bill at Home and in a Business

Every household is interested in cutting down on their electricity costs, which just seem to keep rising year in and year out. This is also one of the biggest expenditures that homeowners are faced with. If you can cut down your electricity bill, you will have more money to put toward something you really want, like a vacation. There is also a need for sustainability amidst climate change and extreme weather conditions. Let’s look at some practical steps that you can take to reduce your electricity bill.

Appliances

You can make a significant saving on your electricity bill with a careful choice of energy devices and appliances. Some are less energy efficient than others. Those that save or consume less energy still provide the service you want so you are not compromising.

Lighting

Incandescent light bulbs use 75% more electricity than LED light bulbs. The latter has an added advantage. They last longer – a whopping 25 times more than incandescent light bulbs. This means that you save on two fronts.

Smart Power Strips

Smart power strips are another product that gives you the benefit of lower electricity consumption. They work by turning off all electronic items that are not in current use, having the ability to sense this. When items are on standby, they still consume standby power, which smart power strips will prevent. Smart plugs work similarly to smart power strips. They work best for items such as printers, small lamps, chargers, and computers. Smart plugs will switch off any electronic device that is not being used.

Thermostats

If you have programmable thermostats, you can set them to follow your schedule. When you are not at home or the office is empty, there is no need for the hot water to be kept at boiling point, for example. You can determine how hot or cold rooms are and save the heating and cooling for when you are there to benefit from these features.

Windows

Energy-efficient windows are a smart idea. Their unique coating reduces the amount of heat that enters the building in the colder months and keeps the heat in during the summer and spring. This means that you can set your cooling and heating systems to consume less energy without having to face the negative aspects of the weather.

Energy Monitor

While an energy monitor will not directly reduce electricity consumption, it tracks it for you in real time. This allows you to see where you are using a lot of power, such as with a tumble dryer and enables you to take steps to decrease this consumption.

Take Advantage of Deregulation

Deregulation means that you are no longer tied to one service provider for your electricity. This means competition and lower prices, as well as energy plans that you can choose from. Businesses, for example, can consider the different electricity plans for businesses in Fort Worth to find one that gives them the best deal.

It is possible to make huge savings on your electricity bill by following these tips.
