Open Calculator →The "Average Joe" Guide to Shaving Your Bill
You don't need a solar farm or a lifetime of research to save money. Here are 4 "quick wins" that actually work.
Evict the "Energy Vampires"
That little red light on your TV? The clock on your old microwave? They're called Standby Power, and collective they can eat up to 10% of your bill. If you're not using it, unplug it. Better yet, use a $10 power strip to "kill" everything with one switch before bed.
The 1-Degree Secret
Listen, we're not telling you to freeze. But during summer, every degree you raise your AC saves you about 3% on your cooling cost. If you can handle 74°F instead of 72°F, that's a 6% discount on your bill for doing literally nothing.
Wash Cold, Save Gold
About 90% of the energy a washing machine uses goes toward heating the water. Modern detergents are built to work in cold water. Switch to the "Tap Cold" setting, and you'll save enough over a year to buy a nice dinner out. Or several pizzas. We prefer pizzas.
The "Empty Fridge" Trap
An empty fridge is a hungry fridge. Every time you open it, cold air falls out and is replaced by warm air. A full fridge acts as a "cold battery" that holds its temperature better. If your fridge is looking thin, even filling old milk jugs with water can help it run more efficiently.
