I save about $10 a month by unplugging the "energy vampires" when not in use. That includes the computers, printers, microwave, and stereo. I can use the $120 per year with a lot more creativity than the electric company. |

I also try to do this as much as possible. I am also more creative with my extra money than the electric company. |

I have worked for the power company for 14 years now. Although most companies have quit the pratice, try calling the customer service and asking if they offer "time-of-use". This a totally different pay/power useage structure than normal, and most don't advertise or promote it anymore. You can save quite a bit if you can adhere to it. As always, avoid using the biggie's as much as possible. 1. HVAC 2. Hot water heater 3. Clothes dryer (washer is not a giant concern) These are the vast majority of your electric bill. Any questions, just ask. |
