Spring is officially here and I am loving the warmer days! As part of my ongoing partnership with Rheem, I'm bringing you these Utility Cost Savings Ideas: Spring Edition. Here are 11 ways to save on your utility bills this Spring:
- Harvest rainwater to cut back on water utility consumption
- Open the windows when possible to cut back energy use from the furnace and a/c
- Continue using cold water for washing clothes
- Flip fans back into the setting to pull air down for a cheaper alternative to a/c for cooling rooms
- Have your a/c serviced before the summer rush (oftentimes rates go up when demand goes up)
- Replace HVAC filter (every 3 months!)
- Update older light bulbs with energy efficient versions, Use free sunlight when available
- Lower hot water heater temperature (it's warmer now anyways, right?
- Plant trees on the east and west side of the house to reduce the sun's rays from heating it up faster
- But keep plants trimmed at least feet away from your A/C unit
- Replace appliances and units that are underperforming
