Electricity! We use it every day and we pay for it every month, but with a few simple changes we can shrink our bill! Don’t forget it will take some time before you notice cheaper bills once you have made these changes. But keep at it and you will notice the benefits!
- Look at which light bulbs you use the most and swap them to LED bulbs. Your kitchen is usually a great place to do this as there are usually multiple bulbs in a fitting. For example you may have 4 x 50 watt bulbs in your kitchen light, so switching these to 5 watt bulbs saves 90% electricity!
- If you’re at work all day and sleep all night, that leaves only about 4 hours when you need your WiFi, TV, DVD player, Tivo, microwave, games console, wireless speakers, toothbrush charger, etc. They still use power when on standby so why leave them on 24 hours a day? Switch them off instead.
- Automation: If you can’t stand flicking appliances on/off every day then automation could help.
- You could use a timer plug to turn your WiFi off at night.
- You can use wireless remote control plugs to switch on your TV and speakers.
- You could get a motion detection light bulb in your hallway that turns off automatically.
