How to save money on your energy bills.
Explains a few ways on how to save money on your energy bills.
Money is much needed and wanted in order to pay bills,have nice things and maintain what you have.Saving money is just as important as making money.Electricity is a need too,but when not needed it can cost you money.Below I will mention a few ways to save money on your energy bill.
one way to save money on electricity is to keep the utilities,lamps,lights and other things that need electricity to run that are not needed at that particular day and time,keep them off and unplugged.Because the appliances or whatever that is plugged in and not in use is still using up electricity and is costing you money everyday.
There is a way to save on electricity from not using the A/C as much during the warm and hot months of the year.One way is to keep the airconditioner unplugged when you are not going to be using it,because the airconditioner has a big cord and when it is plugged in the electricity is still going through the cord and into the A/C and is costing you money.Usually during the late night hours and early morning hours the temperature outside is a lot cooler than in the afternoon,so late at night or early in the morning open up some windows and let the cool air in the house,then when late morning approaches and when it is warmer outside,shut the windows and that cool air will be in your house,also if you have a couple of ceiling fans keep them on low to keep the cool air circulating .

good tip
Useful information however I think that the best way to reduce your energy bills is to buy A or A+ power saving categorie fridge as this is probably only electric device in home (if you don’t have air conditioner powered on all the time) which works 24 hours per day.
How To Reduce Your Energy Bills / Energy Conservation Begins at Home
Imagine leaving a window open all winter long—the heat loss, cold drafts and wasted energy! If your home has a folding attic stair, a whole house fan or AC Return, a fireplace or a clothes dryer, that may be just what is occurring in your home every day.
These often overlooked sources of heat loss and air leakage can cause heat to pour out and the cold outside air to rush in—costing you higher heating bills.
Air leaks are the largest source of heating and cooling loss in the home. Air leaks occur through the small cracks around doors, windows, pipes, etc. Most homeowners are well aware of the benefits caulk and weatherstripping provide to minimize heat loss and cold drafts.
But what can you do about the four largest “holes” in your home—the folding attic stair, the whole house fan or AC return, the fireplace, and the clothes dryer? Here are some tips and techniques that can easily, quickly and inexpensively seal and insulate these holes.
Attic Stairs
An easy, low-cost solution to this problem is to add an attic stair cover. An attic stair cover provides an air seal, reducing the air leaks. Add the desired amount of insulation over the cover to restore the insulation removed from the ceiling.
Whole House Fans and AC Returns
An easy, low-cost solution to this problem is to add a whole house fan cover. Installed from the attic side, the whole house fan cover is invisible. Cover the fan to reduce heating and air-conditioning loss, remove it when use of the fan is desired.
Fireplaces
A recent study showed that for many consumers, their heating bills may be more than $500 higher per winter due to the air leakage and wasted energy caused by fireplaces.
An easy, low-cost solution to this problem is to add a fireplace draftstopper. Available from Battic Door, a company known for their energy conservation products, a fireplace draftstopper is an inflatable pillow that seals the damper, eliminating any air leaks. The pillow is removed whenever the fireplace is used, then reinserted after.
Clothes Dryer Exhaust Ducts
An easy, low-cost solution to this problem is to add a dryer vent seal. This will reduce unwanted air infiltration, and keep out pests, bees and rodents as well. The vent will remain closed unless the dryer is in use. When the dryer is in use, a floating shuttle rises to allow warm air, lint and moisture to escape.
If your home has a folding attic stair, a whole house fan, an AC return, a fireplace, and/or a clothes dryer, you can easily, quickly and inexpensively seal and insulate these holes.
