The easiest way to start saving money on your utility bills is to pay attention to your lifestyle and how you use your home and the energy consuming products in it. In addition, a few simple improvements can help deter energy waste. Remember, energy awareness is the most cost effective skill. Nobody wants to sacrifice personal comfort for only a few dollars of savings on your utility bill. However, there are a couple of suggestions to remain comfortable and save money.
Ceiling fans can make a room feel cooler.
A fan in a room can lower the temperature as much as 10 degrees. Opening windows on cooler days can also save energy normally used to condition your home. Wearing appropriate clothing can help reduce energy consumption. Wearing warm clothing in the winter and light clothing in the summer can help curb utility cost by allowing a home's occupants to adjust the thermostat accordingly and remain comfortable.
