Save Money By Lowering Electric Bill
I am sure if you add up your electric bill over the past couple of years you would be surprised just how much money you have spent. Here are a couple of tips to lower that bill every month.
Wash your clothes in cold water whenever you can. Using hot water just adds to your electric bill. Even by using warm water instead of hot water helps. Take a look at that hot water pipe going to your taps, insulating it can help too.
Instead of running your dryer put up a clothes line outside or get some low cost racks for your basement to hang your clothes on. Even if you can hang them for couple of hours and then put them in the dryer for 10-15 minutes instead of running the dryer for an hour will help lower your bill.
Speaking of dryers, take a look at your appliances. If they do not have that energy saver sticker on them chances are they using a lot of hydro. Refrigerators, washers and dryers are the worst culprits for wasting expensive electricity.
Don't forget to turn off lights and televisions when not using them. Have a look at your computer and make sure to use the power down feature or turn it off when you are not using it.
Those are just a few random tips that will help cut down on your electrical bill. If you have any more please comment.
