π°πββ¬β‘ FRED THE FOREMAN HAS BEEN COUNTINGβ¦ AND HE THINKS YOU'RE PAYING TOO MUCH FOR ELECTRIC! β‘π°
Fred has been busy going over the numbers at Daly Electric, and he's got one important questionβ¦
WHY GIVE THE ELECTRIC COMPANY MORE MONEY THAN YOU HAVE TO? π
You might not be able to control the price of electricity, but there are plenty of things you can do around your home to help lower your electric bill!
Here are some easy ways to keep a little more money in YOUR pocket!
π‘ 1. SWITCH TO LED LIGHTING
Still using old incandescent bulbs? Make the switch to LED! LEDs use significantly less electricity and last much longer. Replace frequently used bulbs first and watch those savings add up!
π½οΈ 2. RUN A FULL DISHWASHER
Avoid running the dishwasher half empty. Wait until you have a full load, use the energy-saving setting, and let the dishes air dry when possible.
π 3. BE SMART WITH YOUR LAUNDRY
Run full loads in your washing machine, use cold water when appropriate, and clean your dryer's lint filter after every load. A clogged lint filter makes your dryer work harder!
π‘οΈ 4. WATCH YOUR THERMOSTAT
Heating and air conditioning can account for a big part of your electric bill. Adjust your thermostat when you're sleeping or away from home. A programmable or smart thermostat can help automate those adjustments.
π 5. STOP PAYING FOR ELECTRICITY YOU AREN'T USING
Electronics, gaming systems, chargers, televisions and other equipment can consume electricity even when they're not actively being used. Unplug items when practical or use smart power strips to reduce standby consumption.
πΏ 6. LOWER YOUR WATER HEATER TEMPERATURE
Your electric water heater can be a significant energy user. Check the temperature setting and consider 120Β°F, which is generally sufficient for household use and can reduce energy consumption. Follow manufacturer recommendations and be mindful of scalding and water safety.
π¬οΈ 7. CHANGE YOUR HVAC FILTERS
A dirty air filter restricts airflow and can make your heating and cooling system work harder. Check your filters regularly and replace them as recommended.
π 8. SEAL UP THOSE AIR LEAKS
Check around doors, windows, attic access points and other openings. Weatherstripping and caulking can help keep heated and cooled air inside where it belongs.
π‘ 9. INSTALL MOTION SENSORS AND TIMERS
Have lights that always seem to get left on? Motion sensors, occupancy sensors and timers can help make sure lights aren't running unnecessarily.
β‘ 10. HAVE YOUR ELECTRICAL SYSTEM CHECKED
Older lighting, outdated equipment and improperly functioning electrical components can affect efficiency. If something doesn't seem right, have a qualified electrician take a look.
πΎ FRED'S BOTTOM LINE:
You work hard for your money. Why not keep more of it?
Some changes cost almost nothing, while others may require an investment. But combining several energy-saving habits can make a real difference over time.
