Five GREAT Ways to Lower Your Electric Bill !!!

Do you want to save money this month? This year? Are your high electricity costs causing you to struggle financially, making money tight? There are several ways that you can lower your monthly electric bill. Imagine how much money you could save!

One...
Most all of us do laundry each and every day. Many of us use a dryer to dry it. Electric dryers use electricity to dry your clothes. Each load you wash means that the dryer will be used for approximately 40 minutes. Many dryers run off of 220 volts. That can really add up, esp. if you have kids and do as much laundry as I do! Now that the weather has warmed up it is a wonderful time to hang the clothes out to dry! The fresh air and sunshine will dry your clothes for free! Imagine how much you could save!

Two...
How many times each day do you walk into or by an empty room and see that the light has been left on? There is no point in having the lights on if they are not being used, is there? Did you know that if you turn the light off each time you are done using it your electric bill will be lower? It sure will. During the daytime take advantage of the natural sunlight. Draw open your drapes. Light the natural light light your home for free.

Three...
Old drafty widows, doors and walls will let the cold in, and the heat out. Most of us use electric furnaces with run with fuel oil, kerosene or propane, and have an electric blower that forces the heat into your home. If all that heat that the electric blower is blowing is going out the door or window what will happen? The temperature drops and the furnace kicks back on. The blower blows out the heat again which goes out the door or window again. It could become very costly after a while. The solution to this may cost a bit now, but will save you hundreds on your electric bill per year, every year. Insulate your walls well. Side your home. Replace old windows. Fix gaps in doors. These things will save you a ton, and increase your homes value too.

Four...
If you have an electric stove or over imagine how much you electricity you are using to cook dinner each day. The average electric stove, like the clothes dryer, runs off of 220 volts. There are two ways you can cut your electricity costs when it comes to your stove and oven. First of all, warm weather also allows us to barbeque! No stove or over needed. Most all American families love to barbeque which means we can have a great time and save money too! The other way is to replace your stove or oven with a more efficient propane variety. The savings will really add up in the long run.

The last money saver I have for you today is a simple thing that you can do to stop electricity from being wasted in your home.

Shutting off the little electronic devices such as radios and televisions and such when they are not being used will also greatly help to reduce your monthly electric costs. Why leave the TV on when noone is watching it? Your meter is ticking. Why have a stereo on in an empty room when noone can hear it? Your costs are rising minute by minute for nothing!
