Tips to reduce your monthly electricity bill in Texas
Tips to reduce your monthly electricity bill in Texas
Keep in mind that although we've broken down these energy-savings tips by living situation, many of these tips can apply to anyone.
When you're living alone or with your spouse, partner or roommate, it's easier to keep track of your usage behavior than when managing a larger family. Evaluate your habits and come up with a plan to make small adjustments that can be beneficial. Start small and work towards making these habits routine.
With large families, electricity usage will generally be higher, with even more potential for fluctuation. Work together as a family to establish electricity usage reduction goals and plans on how to achieve them. Certain changes that may be easy for singles or couples may not be as practical for large families. For example, washing with warm or hot water may be necessary if you have very soiled clothes or cloth diapers.
Be smart about appliance usage
Since apartments are generally smaller than homes, there may be fewer variables impacting your electricity usage. This means electricity-saving measures could potentially have a greater impact than if you were living in a larger space.
With a house, there are some added considerations that generally don't come with an apartment. For example, you may have more square footage, which can result in higher heating and cooling costs.
