Don’t let your power bills get out of hand during winter!
With winter settling in across the country, many of us will be turning on the heater, taking longer showers and leaving our lights on a little longer, sending our power bills soaring.
You don’t have to choose between freezing or paying higher bills though. Here are a few simple steps you can take to cut down your winter power bills.
Get to know what products use the most energy around your home.
The microwave is one of the most common culprits for draining excess energy when not in use. Simply switching it off when you’re not using it can help you save some dollars.
Once you’ve identified the culprits around the home, switch them off or swap them out for more energy efficient options.
Before you reach for the heater, try warming up with extra blankets or keeping your home closed up when the temperature drops.
If your floors are tiled or you have wooden floor boards, consider investing in rugs.
When you do switch on the heater, make sure it’s energy efficient and you’ve closed all of the windows, blinds and doors.
If you’re only planning on using the one room, close that off. Limiting the heat to just one room means you’ll use less energy overall.

So we want to hear what you think:
