How to Save Energy<\/h3>\n

Honestly, it’s not that hard; it\u2019s just a matter of paying attention to details. Trust me that small details count. Every kilowatt you save and keep saving energy will be reflected on your bill.<\/p>\n

Here are some suggestions on how to lower your electric bill and save on energy:<\/p>\n

Take\u00a0cooler showers<\/strong>. Longer hot showers mean that your water heater works that much harder. The water from outside comes colder because of this winter’s temperatures. The water heater uses more energy to keep that cold water warm and cozy whenever you need it. If possible, replace your water heater with an \u201con-demand water heater\u201d, a very good option at LOWES, Lowes always has ways to make your home more energy-efficient<\/em> so you save on your electric bills.<\/p>\n

Check your home insulation<\/strong>. A lot can be done here, even if you live in an apartment. The home insulation<\/em> issue is more than just attics or fancy double-glass windows. Insulation is for all cracks where cold air might leak into your home. We previously talked about the \u201cdual draft guard<\/a>\u201d, a very inexpensive way to stop cold air from coming into the house from underneath the front or back door. Another idea I have tried is an aluminum\/vinyl door weatherstrip<\/strong>, very inexpensive and for my door, it works much better.<\/p>\n

Here are more tips<\/a>\u00a0for how to seal air leaks.<\/p>\n

Reverse your ceiling fans.<\/strong>\u00a0Switch the ceiling fans to blow the air upward. The warm air then stays up, keeping all air warm and the heater turns on fewer times throughout the day. Remember not to turn off the heater, just keep it at a comfortable 69 \u2013 70 degrees, and remember that 2 degrees may affect 15% of your electric bill.<\/p>\n

Use prepaid electricity service.<\/strong>\u00a0Even if you live in a 5,000 sq ft home, you can really save money on energy. Start with prepaid electricity service, and you’ll get some great benefits:<\/p>\n
