I always try to find ways to lower the costs of our utilities and buy things that could help us save up in general. I guess it’s time to take out my old grill since our stoves use up to much power. Cheers!

The more light your letting in, the more heat that is coming with it. You want to be careful with which sort of shades you get though. If you get a dark shade of certain materials then they actually catch and trap heat. I would suggest looking up which materials don’t do that.

You have a lot of great tips to do just that, I will have to start putting off chores until later at night! I also need to remember to change the filter on the HVAC unit, good advice.

If your filter is all gunked up, it won’t run as efficiently. Replacing it every few months will help your AC provide the best cooling it can, which means you’ll spend less energy to get the same result. Thanks for the tips.

I think a really good point is to set your heating / air con on a timer. There is a common myth that you save energy and money by running them constantly but at a low level. This was proved to be untrue by a study performed by the Energy Saving Trust in the UK.

Tip number three is probably the most useful for me to keep in mind. I forget to think about things like time of day when I have things I need to get done. I will have to make a more concerted effort to wait til dark to do my laundry and cooking.
