Don’t Let Your Utility Bill Get the Best of You

Watching your money all disappear on your Winston-Salem home bills can be depressing. Thankfully, there are ways that you can get some of your bills lowered. From calling your credit card company and asking for a lower rate to changing your cable plan, the potential to lower bills is great. It does not stop there. The following are five ways you can save on your utility bill:

Maintenance on Heating System

By having your heating system maintained on a regular basis, you will save money. While you will have to spend a little on maintenance, you will save more than you spend as a heating system that is not working properly is going to cost more to operate.

It will go through more fuel and electricity when things are not working properly. Maintenance costs will pay for themselves.

Shower Vs Bath

You may enjoy a nice evening soaking in the bathtub, but it will cost more to fill up your bath with hot water than it will to take a shower.

Less water is used in a shower. The savings will add up as your hot water tank will not have to use as much fuel and, as less water is used, the cost of your water will go down.

Wait for a Full Load

Many people often start their dishwashers and washing machines when there is only a half load inside. Regardless of load size, these appliances will still use the same amount of energy. By waiting to put a full load in the dishwasher and washing machine, you will find you will be using less energy and saving on utilities.

Weatherize Windows and Doors

Before you turn on your heat in the winter or your AC in the summer, make sure you weatherize your windows and doors. By sealing them, you will be able to keep your Winston-Salem home at the temperature you desire, and you will cut your operating costs.

Leave Room in Freezer

If you have a freezer, it may be so stuffed full that the cold air cannot circulate throughout. This freezer will cost you more to keep your food frozen. You need to leave enough room in it to work efficiently.

However, you also need to keep it full enough so that it doesn’t have to run constantly to keep things frozen. If you have too little in it, simply fill some bottles with water and place them in your freezer to take up that extra space.
