Lower Utility Bills For Big Savings

When you are paying your electric bill every month, consider this: you may be paying 30 percent or so more than necessary.

In fact this is one of those times when spending a little more up front right now can save you a lot in the long run.

Hiring a heating/air conditioning technician to check your unit and make sure that it’s working properly is a very good idea. Your air ducts may need cleaning, coils may need cleaning, filters may need to be changed more regularly…spending $60 or $80 once could save you that much every month in heating or air conditioning bills.

Also, consider your refrigerator – an old, inefficient refrigerator can burn a lot of energy. When buying new appliances consider buying ones that are approved by EnergyStar.

There are some things you can do yourself, for free. Check every single window and doorway for drafts. If there are drafts, fix them; you’re paying to heat or air-condition the whole outdoors!

Change your air filters regularly. Check them and if they look at all dirty, they need to go immediately.

Check for water leaks everywhere, including outside where you may have a garden hose. A little leak can cost you hundreds of dollars in a months time.

Check for continuously running toilets, which can run up your water bill considerably.

And remember that the recommended temperature settings are 78 degrees in the summer and 68 degrees in the winter.
