Do you enjoy having your roomy interior at a chilly 68 degrees during summer months or a balmy 75 in the winter? Adjusting how you use your HVAC system can make a difference over time. Decrease your temperature a degree or two in the depths of winter and increase it slightly during the dog days. If your property manager approves, you might transition to a smart thermostat to to manage your HVAC equipment and lower bills even more. 

How Do You Run Your Appliances?

Appliances are another significant user of electricity, but you can implement some easy changes to minimize their usage. Adjust your refrigerator to a higher temperature and lower your water heater temperature by a couple of degrees. Chances are your food will remain chilled and preserved, and your baths will still be plenty warm. Also, make certain you’re only using your washing machine and dishwasher when you have a full load. If you have electrical devices or appliances that aren’t in use, unplug them!

More Ideas For Cutting Your Fishers Electric Bill

After considering your appliance and HVAC equipment, move on to these additional ideas for cutting your electric bill:

  • Upgrade to LED bulbs that consume considerably less energy and last longer than regular incandescent bulbs. 
  • Consider using a smart power strip that cuts power to components when they’re not in use. This device lets you circumvent “vampire” energy drain.
  • Try task lights rather than keeping overhead lights on continually.
  • Power off lights before you leave to use the health club or other amenities. You can also consider using timers to ensure lights aren’t continually running.
  • Utilize overhead fans and windows to complement your A/C and furnace. Fans use significantly less energy than your HVAC equipment.
  • Change your furnace filter every 2-3 months (or have your building team do so). This simple maintenance task will reduce the burden on your system, letting it run more efficiently.
  • Ensure window treatments are closed during scorching summer days to minimize heat gain. Alternatively, daylight through your window can help raise the temperature of your interior in the winter.

If you utilize appliances and HVAC tools wisely and integrate our additional suggestions, you can lower your energy bills. Along with trimming your electric bill, you’ll be doing your part to help preserve our environment.
