Significantly lowering your home’s energy bill probably seems hard to accomplish, but there are actually a handful of things you can change in your daily routine that will prove to save you quite a bit of cash.

Speaking on a majority of your home’s appliances, here are 5 ways you can reduce the cost of your monthly utility bills:

1. Dishwashers

5 Methods You Can Use To Reduce Your Energy Bill

First of all, taking as much advantage as possible of all usable space in your dishwasher should be number one priority as you clean your dishes. Don’t turn on your dishwasher until you have completely filled it; only use water and energy as needed. Another way you can reduce energy usage is disabling the heated dry method and utilizing a rinsing agent. A rinsing agent can easily be added on the door of your dishwasher. It releases at the opportune time of the cycle to make sure that all your dishes get clean but keep water from sticking to it once they are sanitized.

2. Washing Machines

Reducing heat on your washing machine when you do a load of laundry is key in streamlining this appliance’s energy usage. If you choose to utilize cold water while doing laundry, you won’t have to separate your clothes by color out of fear of the colors running, which means less loads of laundry for you to do overall.

3. Power Strips

Certain devices in your home can be eating up quite a bit of your energy usage such as video game consoles, desktop computers and televisions. The the easiest way to combat this is adding a power strip you can shut off at the end of the day. This is a better alternative for some who would rather not individually power off each device every day. This stops these devices from sucking up energy when they’re not in use.

4. Vents and Filters

Regularly changing the filters on your air conditioning and heating systems, as well as keeping your vents open and clear, making sure that you’re getting every penny of your system usage. Doing this will also help to prevent repairs and replacement down the line, in addition to saving you money on a monthly basis.

These five tips can stand to save you a lot of money on your monthly bills while only using the amount of energy you absolutely need. Taking advantage of these steps to lowering your energy bill will help you get the most out of both your HVAC and plumbing systems in the long run, so it’s worth making each of these small changes.
