How to lower your electric bill for FREE (5 things you can do)

• Lower the temperature.

• Cut Out Phantom Energy

• Start Line Drying Laundry

• Install a ceiling fan.

• Add solar panels to your home.

1) Lower The Temperature

Lowering the temperature when you aren't in your home or at night, when you can find other natural ways to stay warm, is a simple and smart way to increase savings. The U.S. Department of Energy estimates that for every eight hours you lower the thermostat by one degree, you'll save 1 percent on your bill.

2) Cut Out Phantom Energy

Did you know that 75 percent of your energy use is caused by electronics that are turned off?

For example, your toaster could be sucking up 876 watts while on, but zero when off and unplugged! Your TV, computer, Internet router, and kitchen appliances are making your electric bill higher. This is because they are still working even while off. To cut your electric bill significantly, use power strips and turn them off when electronics are not being use.

3) Start Line Drying Laundry

Dryers take up a lot of energy, and finding ways to dry your clothes without using your dryer can save you quite a bit of money. Dryers consume between 1,800 watts to 5,000 watts per load. Instead of turning on the dryer, line dry your laundry to cut away the extra charges.

Let’s say your dryer uses 3,000 watts per load, and you pay $0.10 per kWh. If it takes your dryer 30 minutes to dry a load, you are paying $2.74 per month and $32.85 per year savings.

4) Install a ceiling fan.

Air conditioning units can be the most energy consuming function in your household. By installing ceiling fans, or any fans that help circulate air throughout your home; you won't have to use as much of your air conditioning.

5) Add solar panels to your home.

Getting solar panels on your roof and going solar is the best energy saver of all. Your home would be powered by renewable energy. Not only does this cut out excessive charges that your current electric company such as SDGE is charging you, but it is also better for the environment. What is better than your home being powered by the sun which is always at use. You are powering your own home instead of it coming out of state where you have to pay shipping charges. On top of that, you don't have to be a part of the Time Of Use Plan. There are 3 ways you can get solar panels. You can buy them in cash which can be expensive but you wouldn't be paying an electric bill anymore. You can lease or finance them which can still be a cheap option. Or you can sign a PPA (power purchase agreement) which allows you to have panels installed on your roof for FREE and buy the power that is generated through it. This has become extremely popular in the solar industry due to the fact that it costs $0.00 to do, install, and transition and you start saving nearly

24% - 40%+ on your electricity bill.
