Challenge yourself to see if you can lower your energy costs. Here are some simple steps to keep your electricity budget in your comfort zone.

Higher temperatures lead to higher energy usage. Each year, we see our electric bill climb from the mild springtime.

Don’t Forget the Air Filters

A dirty air filter slows airflow and makes your HVAC unit work harder.

Servicing your system every Spring and Fall can save you as much as 10% on your electric bill.

    Install a Programmable Thermostat

    To optimize your thermostat, set it at 78 degrees during the summer and spring, especially during the day. When you are away from home, automatically adjust the temperature setting. This will help save on your cooling bill.

    Preventing Air Leaks

    Don’t forget to check the sealing around doors and windows, including the basement and attic. It is one of the best ways to keep cool air in and warm air out.

    Change Your Light Bulbs

    Trade your inefficient incandescent bulbs for LEDs. LED light bulbs use just 10% of the energy to produce the same amount of light as their incandescent equivalents. LEDs last up to 20 times longer and use about one-sixth as much electricity.

    Pool Lights

    If you haven’t done so already, LED pool lights are one of the most straightforward and practical upgrades you can make. LEDs emit a bright white light that makes night swimming safer.

    Durable LED pool lights can last over 20,000 hours and might not need replacing for a decade or more. An incandescent bulb’s lifespan is about 5,000 hours. Make the switch.

    In most pools, bulb replacement is easy. Simply unscrew your incandescent bulb and install the LED lamp, then monitor your electric bill savings.

    Close the Blinds and Curtains

    In the summer, most of the sunlight that falls on standard windows enters the home to become heat. Partially closing curtains and blinds on southern-facing and western-facing windows can help reduce daytime heat gain inside your home.

    Cooking in the Oven

    Conventional ovens raise the indoor temperature, forcing your air conditioner to work harder. Plan meals that can be cooked with a microwave, convection or toaster oven, or slow cooker. Better yet, consider cooking outside on the grill.

    LG Countertop Microwave Oven

    If you do use the oven, bake several things at once to cut down on the time your oven is on. Do your final food preparation before turning on burners or pre-heating the oven.

    Any open hot burner or oven wastes energy. An oven working non-stop to prepare meals gobbles much of the extra power.

    Use ceramic or glass cooking pans. You can turn down the oven’s temperature by up to 25 degrees and get the same results. Stagger dishes on upper and lower foil-free racks to allow the oven to run more efficiently.

    Running the Dishwasher

    According to energy.gov, a dishwasher uses less than half the energy compared to hand washing, which uses much more hot water.


    Hot or cold temperatures outside, lights staying on longer and more people at home contribute to the spike in your electric bill.


    These simple, inexpensive actions can result in significant savings on your electric bill.
