Tips on Saving Money on Your Electricity Bill
High electricity bills are a cause for concern for everyone right now, but there are things you can do to lower your bill.
We have put together some ideas that can help you save money on your electricity bills long term.
- One of the simplest and effective ways to save energy is by switching to LED lighting. LED bulbs use up to 90% less energy than traditional bulbs and last a lot longer, which means you won’t need to change them very much at all.
- Install light sensors in rooms where people frequently forget to turn off the lights, such as bathrooms. The sensors will automatically turn off the lights when no one is in the room, saving you energy and money.
- Upgrading to energy efficient appliances can save you a significant amount of energy and money.
- Have an Electrical installation condition report (EICR) carried out at your home. We can conduct an EICR of your home to identify areas where you may be using more energy than necessary. We often find outdated wiring, inefficient lighting, or appliances that are drawing too much power.
- Install surge protectors which can help protect your electrical devices from damage caused by power surges, this can result in helping reduce the need for repairs or replacements.
- Use a programmable thermostat to adjust the temperature of your home automatically based on your schedule. Or set your thermostat a few degrees lower in the winter and a few degrees higher in the summer to help you save energy.
- Install solar panels to draw energy from the sun and reduce your reliance on energy companies.
Following these energy-saving tips, can help you reduce your energy consumption and save money on your electric bill.
