• Whether its a perfectly temperature-controlled
  room in the middle of the blazing summer heat or
  a warm shower on a cold night theyve become an
  essential part of our lives. The only problem is
  that these creature comforts come at a cost a
  high electric bill to be exact. the five best
  tips on how to lower your electricity bill
  without having to give up any of the comforts
  that comes with it.

Clean Your Appliances

• This hardly goes without saying, but
  well-maintained machinery works more efficiently.
  When dust, sand and other pollutants in the air
  collects inside the filters of our appliances
  (especially heavy ones like our fridges and air
  conditioning units) it requires the machine to
  work twice as hard to maintain the same level of
  efficiency which increases electricity usage
  and, in some cases, can even damage the system. A
  monthly cleaning of filters and a yearly HVAC
  maintenance appointment should lead to a
  noticeable decrease in your electricity bill and
  improve the quality of air in your home.

Check for Any Leaks

• A large contributor to energy wastage and
  inefficient heating/cooling comes from leaks in
  windows and doors. Good insulation goes a long
  way in improving just how much electricity is
  needed to keep your home temperature moderated.
  For places with extreme weather fluctuations,
  extra-insulation is also a viable option a
  one-time investment that will lead to a long life
  of lowered electricity bills.

5
Only Wash Full Loads

• This is kind of obvious, but we have all fallen
  victim to running half-full washing machines or
  dishwashers to save ourselves a bit of time. The
  only problem is that both dishwashers and washing
  machines use a lot of electricity. By using them
  when theyre at maximum capacity, youd be
  optimizing their efficiency, and thus, each unit
  of electricity is worth the money and you wont
  have to spend extra on half-loads.

6
Dont Use the Heating Functions

• Following our previous tip on washing machines
  and dishwashers, the heating setting heat dry
  for dishwashers and simply hot water for washing
  machines will save a sizeable amount of money. A
  large amount of energy (around 90) that both of
  these appliances use is just for heating. By not
  using it entirely, youll be saving yourself a
  tidy sum of money. And itll help keep your
  clothes from wearing out, as cold water helps
  keep dyes locked in and keep your clothes from
  shrinking.
