The Summer is here and boy is it hot, but that doesn't mean that our power bill has to go up. Saving money on your energy bill is actually easier than most people think. Saving energy can be as easy as flipping a switch or pressing a button, resulting in appreciable energy savings and lower energy costs for you and the environment.
They say that electronics account for about 4 percent of the household's energy cost. The bad part is that these electronics are draining 75 percent of that energy while they're off or not in use. So how do we eliminate wasting this energy? Plug your electronics into a power strip and switch the strip off when you're not using the appliance. With the flip of a switch, you can save about 3 percent off your energy costs. It doesn't seem like much but every little bit helps and starts to add up. We can all save money by being a little more tentative to our routine.
We all have lots of appliances in our homes but the clothes dryers drain some of the most energy. Back in 2001 an audit of energy was done to show usage in U.S. homes. The U.S. Energy Information Administration(E.I.A.) discovered that your dryer alone is about 6 percent of a household's energy costs. Only refrigerators and central air conditioners used more. Line drying your clothes is also an option that you can take to lower your energy bills.
