Ways to Save Around the House
If you are like me, you really love saving money. In fact, you are probably addicted to saving money. Over the years, I have come up with many amazing ways to save money around the house. Here are a few that anyone can implement and save lots of money.
The hot water heater is probably too hot. Change it to 110 to 120 degrees and you will still be fine.
Make sure you have a full load of laundries before you use the washer. That way, you are using the least amount of energy per cloth!
If you put towels under your doors, it won't let the heat escape through to the outside. This simple trick saved me so much money in the winter.
Actually, windows should be sealed off too. If you look at your windows and the plastic molding is peeling off, then replacing it will prevent heat from going out the window.
Take advantage of the energy peak hour programs that companies have. Whenever there's peak power, they will just cut off your air conditioning or heater and they will give you a better rate.
Cut the landline if you don't need it. Most cell phones are adequate these days and you don't really need more than one line anyway.
Do not over water your plants and grass. Whenever you see streaks of water, it means that you are over watering and wasting it. Control it.
Getting a new fridges can actually save you money in the long run because the new ones are all energy efficient. Look for the symbol when you buy a new fridge from Best Buy or something.
Ventilating fans are great in the summer but make sure they are turning the right way so it doesn't take heat out of the house in the winter.
Wear clothes so you won't feel cold. You don't necessary need to crank up that heater to high all the time.
