🚿 7. Heat Water the Smart Way
Water heaters account for nearly 20% of home energy use. To save:
- Lower the thermostat to 120°F
- Insulate your hot water tank and exposed pipes
- Take shorter showers (or install low-flow showerheads)
💰 8. Off-Peak Power = Lower Bills
Check if your utility offers time-of-use pricing. Doing laundry, dishes, or charging devices during off-peak hours (typically late night or early morning) can save a surprising amount.
✅ Final Thoughts: Small Habits, Big Savings
You don’t need to make major changes to slash your electricity bill — just consistent, small shifts in how you use energy at home. Each habit might save only a few dollars per month, but together they add up to hundreds per year.
So start today. Unplug what you’re not using, switch those bulbs, and take control of your electricity bill — one smart choice at a time.
