Around the house can be one of the quickest and easiest places to save money. A lot of these tips are virtually set and forget.
Replace your shower head with a water saving shower head. This not only saves you water but can also save you a considerable amount on you energy bill by using less hot water.
By installing energy saving light globes you can save quite a bit on your power bill and a lot of the compact fluorescent globes have a long life, up to 20 years, so they are great value.
You can save on energy costs by setting your heater one degree cooler in winter and one degree warmer in summer.
Set your air conditioner on a timer so it comes on a little while before you come home. This way your house will be cool when you get home, preventing you from putting it on flat out when you come home to a hot house. You can do the same with heating in winter.
When using water only for a short time, like washing your hands, be sure to use the cold water tap. This will save water heating costs.
In winter, make sure any windows facing the sun have the blinds open to capture as much natural heat as possible.
In winter, draw the blinds early to prevent the heat from escaping.
In summer, keep the blinds closed on the windows that face the sun.
Keeping the doors closed and heating only the rooms you use most can save you a lot on your heating bill.
Turn off any electrical appliances that have a stand by mode (that’s anything with little lights or LED displays) at the wall.
When replacing electrical appliances, consider their energy rating.
Lower the hot water thermostat by 5 or 10 degrees.
Turn off the lights if you’re not using them.
