One of the largest concerns of property owners is the fact that electric bills are rapidly increasing in what feels like every month. That’s why our team came up with numerous ways to help lower your electricity bills. We hope by implementing the following that tips you can start experiencing amazing benefits year-round!
Use Smart Home Technology
Smart home devices like smart thermostats, smart plugs, and energy monitors can help you manage energy consumption more effectively. For example, a smart thermostat can adjust heating and cooling according to your scheduled time automatically and save you from wasteful energy consumption. Utilizing this technology will help you avoid heating specific areas of your home at unwanted times. Therefore, your home will be warm or cool when needed and not when you’re away. No more wasting unwanted electricity instead you’ll always feel comfortable knowing your home is running efficiently.
Optimize Your Lighting
Changing to LED light bulbs can greatly lower your lighting expenses. LEDs consume as much as 80% less energy than conventional incandescent bulbs and also last considerably longer. Additionally, try to put in motion sensors or timers to have lights turned on only when necessary. This allows you to have amazing convenience when you are at home. Your lights will turn on for you and automatically turn off once you leave your property. No more worrying about leaving your lights on when everything is automatic.
Enhance Home Insulation and Sealing
Regular sealing and insulation also make your home warm, so there will be no need to cool and heat it. Remember to check for drafts under windows and doors and seal the gaps with caulk or weatherstripping. Insulation is also upgraded in basements, walls, and attics to save lots of money. With overall better sealing and insulation you quickly feel the drastic benefits of having these home upgrades made. Your bills will soon drop allowing you to spend more money on other important areas of your property.
Upgrade to Energy-Efficient Appliances
New appliances consume less power while not compromising on performance. Pick products with the ENERGY STAR label, indicating they meet high-efficiency levels. Replace inefficient older refrigerators, washers, and heaters to reduce their energy consumption. Older appliances are very costly and commonly create electrical problems and increase bills much more than you would expect. Whilst new appliances may seem expensive, they are worth the investment in the long run.
