How Low Can Your Electric Bill Go? | Teems Electric

Not only is most everyone home right now, but many of us are also working from home. Therefore, to say our electricity is being used more now than ever is probably an understatement.

While you need electricity in order to get everything done, you also do not want to receive an electric bill next month that blows away your entire budget. Our team at Teems Electric is here to help you find ways to lower your electric bill where possible:

Ways to Lower Your Electric Bill

Fortunately, there are ways to lower your electric bill without having to live in darkness day after day.

For staters, consider using a programmable thermostat if you are not already. When you utilize a programmable thermostat, you are better able to control the temperature of your home throughout the day—rather than always having to turn the thermostat up and down manually.

Second, you can control the comfortability of your home by what you wear rather than turning the thermostat up and down, which could end up costing you more on your electric bill. This way, you can still be cozy at home without spending a few extra dollars toward your monthly utilities.

You also want to make sure you are changing your air filters regularly. When your air filters become clogged, it makes it harder for the air to move efficiently throughout your home. As a result, your air conditioner has to work harder too, which, again, can cost you more money on your monthly utility bill.

While some air filters can be changed once every few months, with everyone home for social distancing, you might want to consider changing the air filters more often.

Finally, make sure that your electrical appliances in your home are working properly, too. When you have an appliance that is not working to its optimal level (like the fridge or dishwasher), it could actually be an energy drain on your home.

Keep your electrical appliances working in tip-top condition by performing regular maintenance checks to help avoid future issues, which could cost you on your electric bill.
