Energy Efficiency Tips<\/h2>\n

Many of us don’t realize how much energy we use at home. It’s easy to forget because it doesn’t cost anything, and we’re not on a utility bill all the time. But as your family grows, it becomes harder and harder to keep up with the electric bills. That’s why I compiled this list of 10 tips for saving energy at home:<\/p>\n

There are many ways to make your home more energy-efficient. Here are some simple tips for you that can save money on your monthly utility bills.<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Install a programmable thermostat. This will allow you to set the temperature at different times of day, when electricity rates may be lower, and then adjust it as necessary throughout the day and evening by weather changes or personal preference.<\/li>\n
  2. Lower your water heater’s setting from 120 degrees Fahrenheit (49 degrees Celsius) to 110 degrees Fahrenheit (43 degrees Celsius). According to Energy Star estimates, setting a lower temperature saves about 10% on hot water heating costs alone.<\/li>\n
  3. Use compact fluorescent light bulbs in place of traditional incandescent bulbs–they use less electricity.<\/li>\n
  4. Lower your water heater temperature by 10 degrees or more (to 120\u00b0F). This will save you about 3% per year in electricity costs while maintaining hot water when needed. If you have an electric tankless water heater, this is a no-brainer\u2014set it to the lowest setting possible.<\/li>\n
  5. Turn off lights when they’re not needed: Turning off lights is one of the simplest things you can do to reduce your energy usage and lower your electric bill. It’s easy! Just flip the switch when you leave a room, or use motion sensors for areas like hallways with no natural light.<\/li>\n
  6. Use LED light bulbs or LED conversion kit<\/a>: LEDs last ten times longer than incandescent bulbs and use only 1\/10th as much power, making them an excellent choice for anyone looking for increased efficiency and long-term savings on theirs.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
