Did you know that the typical American household spends more than $2,000 per year on home utility bills? What’s worse is that most of that energy is wasted. The key to saving energy in your home and leaving a lighter footprint on the earth is to make small changes everyday.
To get you started, we’ve outlined some easy, no-cost tips below:
- Plug as many household electronics as possible in to a power strip. When you leave the home, try to remember to switch off the power strip in order to save unused energy.
- Lower the temperature on your water heater to 120 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Avoid taking baths – they use up a tremendous amount of water. Take short showers instead.
- Install a programmable thermostat to keep your home at the perfect temperature throughout the seasons.
