MY SECRETS



  1. July I decided to switch to average billing cycle - that bill was $50 ... YAHOO ... This month on average billing cycel $71......determine in lieu of having high electric bill price average.  Current property is approx 1900 sq. ft. home.
  2. UNPLUG EVERYTHING in my home lamps, clocks, appliance NOT IN USAGE only plug them in when needed.  When I no longer require lamp I unplug the lamp THAN just turning it off. I have been doing this for approx. 2 years seen huge difference in my bill.
  3. UNPLUG the computer when I retire for the evening
  4. NIGHT LIGHTING - use night lights which have a lower watt than a lamp OR overhead ceiling light 
  5. CEILING FANS - reduce the a/c bill ... running continually rooms used the most 
  6. A/C - is set on 85 - we wear lighter clothing and ceiling fans cool any room off 
  7. NOTE:  My home was not vacant during 30 days occupied almost 24 hours a day 
  8. I have been studying ways how to save money on electric bills REALIZED if make habits of unplugging many of the items in household what you can save annually.

  1. I don't see an advantage of paying a company high fees waste money RATHER have it in my "back pocket" use for something I rather have . 
  2. At least I am not dying of an heart attack when I open my electric bills ;p

The easiest way to make your home more energy efficient is to seal any air leaks, and one that is often overlooked is the bathroom ventilation fan and exhaust vent. The back-draft flap these units come with do a very poor job of stopping leaks. To address this issue, I use a replacement insert fan from the Larson Fan Company (online). Their fans has a true damper built in, that does a great job in keeping warm air in during the winter and hot, humid air out in the summer. This product has reduced my annual energy bills by over ten percent. It saves the most when air conditioning is being used.
