MORE TIPS TO LOWER YOUR UTILITY BILLS

  • Adjust the temperature on your fridge and freezer. By turning up the temperature just a touch, you can allow your fridge and freezer to not work as hard at keeping your food cold, which will save you on utility costs.
  • Maximize all appliances. J.R. Air Duct Cleaning Services means here is to strategically think about how to maximize the use of your appliances. For example, don’t wash only partial loads in your dishwasher. Wait until it is full and hand wash an item if needed immediately rather than waste energy on half loads. The same is true for your washing machine. Furthermore, if you dry consecutive loads, you’ll save utility costs because your dryer will already be hot. This means make laundry day truly a laundry day rather than doing one load at a time. All of these little activities can add up to hundreds of dollars back in your pocket in saved utility costs at the end of the year.
  • Maximize your hot water usage. Your hot water heater uses a lot of energy to heat water. In order to maximize your hot water, simply use less hot water. Turn the temperature down on your shower and on your hot water heater so it doesn’t have to work as hard. Wash your clothes in cold water as much as possible (heavily soiled items need warm or hot water). Use cold water to wash your hands. J.R. Air Duct Cleaning advises that any time you can keep your hot water heater from kicking on will save you money in the long haul.
  • Invest in energy-efficient appliances. The next time you are in need of a new fridge or a new washing machine, consider energy-efficient machines. An energy-efficient dishwasher uses much less water (which means less water to heat up) than an older dishwasher. You should prioritize your purchases by what you use the most, such as your refrigerator. You can also invest in low-flow showerheads, which will use less water in the long run, as well as low-flow faucets.
