Most of the time, consulting an Arizona electrician about saving money will result in them telling you how to save the most money on their services. At Cirtcele Electric, we decided to show you that there’s a lot more to an electrician’s knowledge than simply fixing electrical circuitry throughout the home. Talking with us will provide you with valuable advice that can save you money on more than just the services that you need. Here are some of our favorite electricity saving tips and tricks that everyone can use:
- Make an effort to invest in appliances, light bulbs, and windows that help conserve energy. A favorite among builders who want to promote the ‘green’ movement, there are plenty of reasons to spend the extra cash on turning your home into a more energy-efficient one via new appliances. A couple of replaced appliances, specifically those that have an Energy Star label on them, can easily save you hundreds of dollars per year. Any way you look at it, energy efficient appliances, windows, and light bulbs are a good idea.
- Work on improving your home’s insulation. Whether it’s the super warm dog days of summer, or the most frigid winter nights, having holes in your home’s insulation will cause you to spend a lot more on keeping your home’s interior at a reasonable temperature. By keeping cold air (or warm air) inside your home, you reduce the amount of energy it takes to maintain a decent indoor temperature, which in turn reduces the amount you will need to pay for electricity every month.
- Turning off lights when they are not in use, and doing similarly simple tricks can save a pretty penny, too. This relatively old school trick still works, especially if you unplug appliances when they are not in use.
- If you haven’t done so already, consider switching electrical companies. Energy deregulation has forced electrical companies to compete with one another for customers, which in turn means lower rates. Don’t be afraid to ask other electricity providers in your area what the rates are, and don’t be afraid to switch if you find a company offering lower rates.
