💡 Switch to CFL bulbs: CFL bulbs will provide 10,000 hours of light & use $10.40 of electricity (at eight cents per kilowatt hour).
🌡️ Use a high-tech thermostat: If you want to save money by setting back your thermostat at night, use a two-stage thermostat on a two-stage furnace.
🔥 Close heat registers: It seems like a waste to heat unused rooms, but closing heat registers may actually increase heating costs, especially with newer systems. This is why closing heating vents in unused rooms is less efficient.
💦 Use less hot water: If you’re washing and rinsing your clothes in hot water, you’re wasting a chunk of change heating all that water.
⏱️ Use a water heater timer: This device allows you to program the times when your water heater activates and deactivates during a 24-hour period. Each household is different and you must determine, based on your hot water use, if a timer is right for you.
⚡️Use power strips: Electronics guzzle lots of power even when they’re turned off. To stop wasting electricity, Plug them into a power strip, then turn off the strip.
