So my biggest goal the last few months was learning how to save electricity. Two months ago we get our Electric bill after electric went up and it was $199.00!! That is a lot for us for the summer. Our average bill for the summer was usually $120.00-$130.00, so I started trying to tackle that bill!
#1 I went and got dryer balls for the dryer, they help drying time to be less.
#2 I started doing all my laundry the same day or two days in a row instead of a few loads each day, this way it takes less energy for the dryer to heat up.
#3 Started shutting off the air on cool days, opening the windows, and on days when it's cool but too cool to open the windows I just shut the air off and leave the windows closed.
#4 Vacuumed the back of the refrigerator coils this helps save energy
#5 Make sure to turn off all lights in the house when not in use, utilize the sunlight as much as possible (opening blinds, hanging clothes out to dry etc...)
#6 we changed all light bulbs to the energy saving light bulbs 14w.
#7 Keeping out thermostat at 76 degrees
This month I got the electric bill and it was a whopping $99.00!! Just doing these 7 things has cut down our electricity by over 50%!!
