How to decrease your electric bill by 5 - 20%
I have read on the internet how to decrease your electric bill by following these steps. I tried it for a month, and I saved 9% off my current bill it seems. So try and it post a comment and see how much you save.
1) Unplug all appliances that are not at use. Unplug that coffee maker, toaster, phone charger, and you aren’t lazy the tv and other appliances. Appliances still use electric when plugged in.
2) Shut off lights on your way out, turn off the tv when not in the room.
3) Use a toaster oven for smaller food items to cook instead of the larger full oven, also do not open the door to the oven whenever possible, every time you open the door you lose between 10 - 30 degrees or more depending how long you keep it open for, which is more energy wasted.
These 3 tips will help you not only save money, but be a little greener by saving energy!
