Stay Cool With Electricity Costs


Wow! It sure is getting warmer around here. I’ve been running my air conditioning pretty much non-stop in my house. Of course, that means my electricity bill is a lot to handle!

From now on, I’m going to be smarter about my electricity costs. Why don’t you join me? Just follow these tips to keep your bills down and your savings up.

Don’t Overdo The AC – Here in Texas, you have to have your air conditioning on. But that doesn’t mean you need to be able to ice skate in your home! If you’re comfortable turning the thermometer up a few degrees, do it. You’ll save big on your electricity costs.

Save The Chores The Evening – We all need to wash dishes, dry our clothes, or vacuum around the house. But did you know that your electrical company might charge you less if you wait until the evening? Check out your provider’s website to see if you can save by saving chores for later.

The Little Things Matter. Do you have energy efficient window, or just better curtains? Doing things like drawing your curtains during the day or weatherproofing your home can keep you cool when the weather heats up. That means more savings in your pocket.
