I am tired of paying my high monthly electric bill, especially in the winter time when I have to use my clothes dryer instead of being able to hang the clothes on the line to dry in the summer breeze. I keep trying little ways to lower my energy costs, and you can too.
Gomestic gives us eight ways to save money on our electric bill. Using simple strategies, such as turning the light off when we leave a room, hanging our clothes up to dry instead of using the clothes dryer in the winter time, unplugging any appliances when not in use, and switching to high efficiency light bulbs can reduce our electric bills to a manageable, payable amount. Simply getting our kids to turn off the television when they are using the computer can save some pennies on your dreaded bill.
If you are really desperate to reduce your electric bill and are tired of having to write an insanely high check each month, check out
Dan Chilton's post on how to cut your electric bill in half.

I saw these products on ebay for much less than the distributors sell them at Xedia and the same manufacturer, Xium, makes them. The Xpower Energy Saver is only $99 compared to Xedia's $249 and the Xygen Air Rejuvenator was only $79 compared to $199. I also found them at bargainswebstore.com for the same low prices as on ebay so I'm sure it's the same company. Look for yourself. Do a search on ebay for Xpower Energy Saver and see what comes up. It seems this bargains web store is also selling the exact same products for a much (much, much, much) better price than Xedia.

I have recently bought SunBeam Heated Mattress Pads for each bed in the house. They help reduce the electric bill a bit. We turn them on low about 15 minutes before we go to bed and leave them on during the night. I have since lowered the heater a few degrees for the night time, plus you don't have to crawl into cold sheets.
ReplyI found them at Walmart. $75 for a queen & $85 for a King.
Electric blankets, heating pads and electric mattress pads certainly will provide you with some nice warm heat. They do however, produce some potentially harmful electromagnetic fields (EMFs). We should all be aware of the dangers of the electromagnetic fields (EMFs) around us and of the associated dangers. There is a good book on this subject "The Invisible Threat - The Risks Associated With EMFs" by Dr. Howard W. Fisher (available at Amazon.com). Further, you can reduce the harmful EMFs (by up to 85%) in your home or office by installing "XGuard EMF Filters" available at http://www.cuturbill.com
Turn your hot water heater down if you have it all the way cranked up. IF its electric of course.
ReplyI have a gas water heater and set it on LOW or VACATION. I take a shower after I have done the dishes (by hand) or after the laundry is done. Water is still hot. Try having 2 kids take a shower at the sametime. I sleep with 4 animals and they keep me toasty. I also bought a down quilt on sale and that is plenty of warmth w/o a ton of blankets. My HOA doesn't allow clotheslines so I replaced the normal screen on the porch with a screen you can't see through and hung 2 clotheslines. We shut off everything when not in use - people forget the microwave, the TV (most homes have 2), they all eat up electricity. Don't want kerosene lamps as too dangerous. I think turning off the breaker box takes more energy to bring the water back up. Try the VACATION setting. Call your water company about using grey water to water the garden and plants. I live in the sw. Even get a state tax break!
Dry the heavy wet clothes on the line for a time before finishing inthe dryer, gas or electric.
ReplyWhat a SHAM. Look you IDIOT, I don't even know why you can even publish junk you can't proove. Kina like that MORON who said you could unlock your car through your ceoo phone, but when he was testing this he was 25 feet away from the car!!! You morons need to get a career where your doing more than spewing crap then maybe you would get atleast some type of usefull education about the world around you
ReplyTURN YOUR HOT WATER HEATER OFF DURING THE DAY. I DO THIS EVERYDAY AND MY ELECTRIC BILL DROP $107. I TURN IT BACK ON AROUND 4:00 OR 5:00. JUST TURN IT OFF IN YOUR PANEL BOX.
ReplyI suggest that you get a TORK timer and turn your water heater on for showers in the morning and have it also come on at 1:30 in the afternoon to replenish the supply. You don't have to be reheating the water all day or especially at night when there is no usage. I did this years ago and have saved both electric and oil.
I've used this method for years, and it does save, I turn it off on weekends when I am gone, or leave for the day, year around, recovery time is about 40 minutes for mine, others it may vary.
Some of my favorites that seem to pay off.
ReplyProgramable thermoststs / set to lower temp. in house after we leave for work. Shop for them $35 bucks or so.
Motion sensors for some lights that frequently get left on/ bathroom , closet , garage. $7 dollars and up.
April I don't mean to alarm you, but using those blankets are far more dangerous then saving a few extra bucks. Here's the reason why:Most studies that have shown adverse health effects have linked leukemia, brain tumors, or miscarriages to long-term (eight hours per day) exposure to lower-strength but longer-lasting fields, such as those that people who sleep under electric blankets are exposed to. These blankets have been measured to have field strenghts of 15-50mG close to the body. Since they're typically used for several hours at a time, they pose more of a risk than most other electrical appliances. As an alterative use natural-fiber blankets or quilts. Its better for your health to be alittle chilled then over heated. When the body is chilled it actual speeds up your metabolism. I just needed to let you know this especially if you have children covered because they are still growing and pose a higher risk. You can go online and look up electromagnetic waves and see what it has to say about alot of other appliances. Merry Christmas and God Bless
