There are many habits that we have which do nothing but waste energy. If you are looking to quickly and easily cut your electric bill, slightly altering some of your habits may be the best way to do that.
Habits That Waste Energy
- Not turning off lights when you leave a room
- When brushing your teeth, turn off the faucet when it is not in use.
- Fix leaky faucets
- Unplug appliances when they are not in use. Example that toaster you may not use every day, or your phone charger when it is not in use.
- Replace your furnace filter to reduce strain on your furnace.
- Set the air conditioner/ thermostat lower when you are not at home.
- Do not stare aimlessly into your refrigerator, keeping the door shut when it is not in use will save you energy.

- Swap traditional light bulbs for energy saving bulbs.
