How to Reduce Your Energy Bill
January 26, 2008Love Your Health Money Family & Relationship
It is pretty easy to decrease your energy bill if you know how to do it correctly.
Here are some ways to shrink the electricity energy bill:
Seal the air leaks: you will be able to save more than 10 percent on your heating bills. Start by caulking or weatherstripping around windows. For added comfort, pick up a product such as the 3M Indoor Window Kit at the hardware store.
Take care of the heating system: Natural gas–powered systems should be serviced every two to three years, while oil-fired units need a tune-up every year, since they burn dirtier. To make your system even more efficient, prevent heated air from leaking into your attic or crawl spaces by sealing ductwork with mastic duct sealant, which are nontoxic, paint-on material or foil-backed tape.
Trust Energy Star: It is estimated that 20 percent of our electricity bills are from funning our home appliances. But we can shrink that number by large margin by using the fridges, clothes washers, and dishwashers that qualify for the Energy Star. Energy Star fridges are available from many major manufacturers like GE and Frigidaire; they use half as much energy as those manufactured 15 years ago and 15 percent less than new non–Energy Star appliance models.
