Lowering your energy consumption is a great way to decrease your power bill and save money. It is also a great way to help with the fight against the pollution that is killing our planet.
If you are frugal like me, then you are constantly looking for ways to save money. One way to save money is to lower your bills every month- like your electric bill!
Do you have your mobile devices constantly charging? When not in use, unplug them. Small amounts of energy still trickle through the charger, which causes a drain on your bill.
Obviously, you can’t go out and buy all new appliances, but when it comes time to replace your existing appliances, look for big appliances that are energy-smart and have a good sleep or energy-saving modes.
When shopping, try to buy energy-smart items. Appliances, outlets, power cords, and light bulbs all come in a “smart” form. They all help save electricity in their own ways.
Large amounts can save electricity if you turn the temperature dial. If you have your house warm in the winter, turn it down a few degrees. If you get chilly, put on a sweater.
