With the current economic tension, seeking ways to save money and reduce costs is a wise direction to move. Things like the energy bill may seem challenging to reduce, but there are practical ways to cut the cost of energy without having to make drastic changes.
Replace Your Air Filter Regularly
Replacing the air filter is definitely something you forget to do when you reach adulthood. However, when we forget to do this we force our AC and heaters to work harder in order to keep up. Not only does it create poor air quality in our home, but it also consumes more electricity trying to compensate for the lack of airflow.
Start Using Smart Power Strips
Vampire power, also known as phantom power, is when your device is plugged in and consuming energy despite not being in use. Smart power strips cut off the electricity being consumed by your device when it is not in use or is done charging. This preserves the longevity of your devices while also conserving power.
Organize Your Fridge
We have all found ourselves at one point or another watching hours of organization videos on TikTok, don’t even deny it. As ridiculous as it might seem to see these fridges organized in pretty acrylic containers and organized to perfection, there is a benefit that is often overlooked when it comes to this practice. When our fridge is disorganized, we find ourselves standing with the door open for long periods of time, whether it be to search for ingredients or to scour the shelves for a snack. By keeping it organized, not only do you save money by knowing exactly what is in your fridge and not overbuying, but you also conserve energy by spending less time with the fridge door open and more time consuming the snacks inside.
Install Window Film
Windows can let cool air out and let the heat of the outdoors in. Even properly insulated windows can still be a source of heat in the summers. This is why window film has grown in popularity over the years. It is an affordable and easy solution to maintaining a comfortable environment in the hot summers or cold winters.
With small changes, you can save money and conserve energy. If you would like to know more about window film installation, contact us today for more information.
