8 Must-Know Tips to Save on Your Light Bill
I'm always looking for ways to save on my light bill, though it would be a great idea to share with I'm doing to save on a regular basis. These tips are super simple to implement, and you can acutally start working on them today to start saving money.
8 Must-Know Tips to Save on Your Light Bill
Wash During Off-Peak Times
Most companies have off-peak times where your rate is lower during off-peak times. Contact your local provider to see if they off these rates.
Replace bulbs with more energy-efficient ones
You can find energy-efficient light bulbs pretty much anywhere. Do your due diligence, and purchase ones that will work best for your home.
Air dry your clothing
I love doing this during the warmer months. This is actually something that I looked forward to doing once I became a homeowner. You can purchase the material from your local hardware store or Walmart.
Turn off unneeded lights
I always have unneeded light off. This is so second nature to me. My family is probably a little annoyed by now.
Wash Full Loads
I was full loads whenever possible, and I teach my teen to do the same as well. Now, I mostly have set days in which I do the laundry.
Full Refrigerator
The less full your refrigerator is the more electricity it takes. Due to meal planning, I do a pretty good job at this.
Unplug Appliances Not Being Used
I unplug, any appliance in my home when it's not being used. Again, my family is a little annoyed by this, however, it really has become second nature, and it is also saving us on our light bill.
Purchase Energy-efficient Appliances
Just because an appliance is a great price doesn't mean that it's energy-efficient. Most appliances nowadays have labels on them sharing how much energy you'll save.
