Energy bills and energy plans can be a mystery. Although we love a great mystery, we don’t feel like “Why is my energy bill so high?” is one of them. If you don’t know what to look for in an energy company or energy plan, you’re probably getting a bad deal. Luckily, Pogo Energy is here to save the day! Here are some tips to lower your energy bill.
#1 – Reduce your energy bills and energy usage
One big thing you can do to save money on your electricity is to make small adjustments that play into reducing your energy usage:
- Instead of using the heater or air conditioner, open windows when it’s nice outside! Not only does it save you energy and give you a nice breeze, but it’s scientifically proven to improve your mood!
- Unplug things that you are not using! It may not seem like much, but unplugging idle devices can save up to $200 per year.
- Turn off your lights, too! Leaving lights on when you’re not in the room is wasteful and takes up a big chunk of your energy bill.
- Wash your clothes on cold! It uses much less energy and can save you $60-$85 per year. That’s $5 – $7 per month.
- Change your light bulbs! There’s an up-front investment, but you can save around $200 a year after that.
- Invest in a smart thermostat! Brands like Nest and Ecobee are very popular and can help you save roughly $140 per year on your energy bill.
