Money Saving Opportunities Inside Your Home

If you spend most of your time at home, it is safe to assume that your house makes up your largest expense. A hefty portion of your paycheck is allocated to home expenses whether it is for daily maintenance, home repair and improvement, or mortgage or rent payment. Since so much money is spent on it, it makes good financial sense to look for various opportunities to cut down your domestic expenses.

Electricity

Buying energy-efficient appliances will eventually shave hundreds of dollars off your electric bill in a year. To know if it’s energy efficient, look for the Energy Guide Label in all major appliances as required by federal law.

Request your electric company to give your home a free or low-cost audit as this will identify various ways to slash hundreds of dollars annually off your heating and air conditioning expenses.

Energy-saving fluorescent tubes and compact lamps can provide bright, highly efficient lighting to your home. They outlive incandescent bulbs 6 to 10 times longer and consume less electricity. For additional savings, try solar-powered pathway lights to illuminate your yard at night.

Another great way to trim your electrical consumption by as much as 30 to 40 percent is to use a heat pump system to heat your home. Heat pumps are more energy-efficient especially in temperate climates and provide 3 times more heat than the conventional electrical heating system.

Phone

Ask your local utility provider if they have any programs on cost saving like power consumption management or off-peak hour rate schemes. Participating in these programs can free up a lot of dollars from your home expenses.

Examine your phone bill and look for extra features you never use but are charged just the same like call waiting or three-way conference. You can save more than $50 per year if you cancel these unused extra features.

Water

Conventional shower heads wash money down the drain. You can cut your yearly consumption of shower water in half by replacing your current fixture with a low-flow shower head.

Cover your water heater with insulating material and set its thermostat lower by a few degrees to cut down on your heating bill.

Appliances

Refrigerator models with freezers on top have more cooling efficiency than models with freezers built on their sides. They are therefore great energy and money savers.

Setting your washing machine’s water temperature from hot to warm or cold can drastically cut your laundry energy consumption by 50%.

Gas dryers are more economical to run than electric dryers. Drying your typical laundry load in a gas dryer costs 15 cents less than an electric dryer. Try and figure out how it will add up in a year’s time.

You can speed up drying denim jeans and jackets in the dryer if you toss in some towels with them. The towels will absorb the water from the denims and decrease the drying time.

Combining energy-saving techniques and common sense will definitely save you hundreds of dollars yearly from within your home alone. Start saving on your house expenses and discover how much it translates to your bank account next year.
