For most people, this is the one letter they would always be wishing to avoid, and are often afraid of knowing what "numbers" are included inside - your monthly electric billing statement. It's very hard to figure out how to reduce your electric bill when you don't know the main consumption killers in your household. Most folks are now getting eco-conscious as they search for alternative and better ways to cut costs, while still maintain their present standard of living. A thorough inspection will reveal that, but in most cases they usually fall into 3 categories. 1. Heating and cooling devices: The typical household most often than not, uses the biggest portion of its energy for heating and cooling, and usually takes around 45% of one's utility bill. Obviously, these are the devices that are basic necessities for most people. If you want to know how to effectively reduce your electric bill, without compromising on the "temperature" of your home, try programmable thermostats. These things can help reduce the energy that is wasted from heating or cooling a house - particularly when no one is at home or at night time when everyone's asleep. According to one energy saving company, programmable thermostats "can save as much as 20% to 30% on your heating or cooling costs by allowing for multiple daily settings and automatically adjusting when outside temperature changes." You can also take advantage of using ceiling fans, in place of air conditioning units, especially during summer. A number of energy-conscious individuals prefer this method, noting that "moving air tends to feel cooler, allowing for higher summertime thermostat setting." 2. Lighting and cooking devices: Unarguably the next biggest portion of energy the average household spends is for lighting and appliances. Without even counting the refrigerator, it is estimated that this category comprises 33% of one's utility bill. Some of the alternatives that can help reduce your electric bill can either be compact fluorescent lamps (CFLs), which use up to 3/4 less energy than standard incandescent bulbs and they tend to last 10 times longer. They are a little bit priced higher, but if you do your math, it translates to a considerable amount of savings on your part. 3. Water Heating: The third and last biggest consumption killer is heating water, which amounts to around 15% to 20% of one's utility bill. And since I myself hate taking cold showers, I just couldn't live without this utility. However, I found that you can reduce your electric bill by considering the use of hot water jackets or aerating, low-flow faucets and shower heads. Aside from a knowledge of these top 3 consumption killers, there are also other ways you can effectively reduce your electric bill by purchasing what is known as "simple free energy" devices that make use of the natural elements such as the sun, wind, and magnetism (which is growing in popularity and practical to use for most households). Be sure to perform careful research with these companies though before making an informed decision. The Author is very interested in the technology of alternative forms of electrical production.
