How to Reduce Your Electricity Bill
Practical steps that cut kWh without sacrificing comfort.
Steps
- Seal air leaks around doors and windows to reduce heating and cooling load.
- Set the thermostat a few degrees wider (cooler in winter, warmer in summer) when safe.
- Replace remaining incandescent bulbs with LEDs.
- Shift flexible loads (dishwasher, laundry) to off-peak hours if your utility offers time-of-use rates.
- Maintain HVAC filters and schedule periodic tune-ups for efficient operation.
