Are you enduring the assault of soaring utility bills and trying to find solutions? A steep fee for electrical services can be disheartening, specifically when you’re currently setting money aside for things like monthly rent, student loans, and vehicle payments. Luckily, there are many actions you can take to save money. Explore how to lower the electric bill at your Fishers apartment with our easy energy-smart suggestions. 

Start With Your HVAC Equipment

Do you prefer having your roomy interior at a balmy 75 during the wintertime and a chilly 68 during summer months? Changing how you operate your cooling and heating systems can make a difference eventually. Reduce your temperature a couple of degrees in the colder months and elevate it a little during summer. If your property’s management permits, you could upgrade to a smart thermostat to control your HVAC and curb bills even more. 

How Do You Run Your Appliances?

Appliances will also drain electricity, but you can implement some easy changes to decrease their usage. Tweak your refrigerator to a warmer setting and lower your water heater temperature by one or two degrees. Chances are your food will remain refrigerated and preserved, and your morning showers will still be plenty warm. In addition, make certain you’re only using your dishwasher and washing machine when they are fully loaded. If you have electrical components or appliances that aren’t in use, unplug them!

Other Ideas For Cutting Your Fishers Electric Bill

After considering your cooling and heating temps and appliances, evaluate these extra ideas for reducing your electric bill:

  • Switch to LED bulbs that utilize much less energy and burn longer than regular incandescent lights. 
  • Look into getting a smart power strip that halts power to components when they’re not in use. This device allows you to avoid “phantom” energy drain.
  • Employ task lighting in lieu of keeping overhead lights burning constantly.
  • Switch off lights before you depart to visit the health club or other amenities. You can also think about using timers to make certain lights aren’t always illuminated.
  • Use ceiling fans and windows to ease the burden on your A/C and furnace. Fans use considerably less energy than your HVAC equipment.
  • Replace your furnace filter every 3 months or less (or ask your service team to do so). This easy maintenance detail will lower the strain on your system, allowing it to function more efficiently.
  • Ensure window treatments are closed during hot summer afternoons to minimize heat gain. Alternatively, sunlight through your window can help raise the temperature of your home during winter months.

When you use appliances and HVAC equipment wisely and incorporate these other recommendations, you can reduce your energy costs in the long haul. In addition to lowering your electric bill, you’ll be doing your share to help preserve our environment.
