Ways to Save Money on Electricity

Introduction 

When it comes to electric bills, it is important to find ways to save money. Electric bills can be very costly, especially during the winter and the summer. It is one of the most expensive, recurring costs for the home. Nevertheless, there are various ways to save a significant amount of money when it comes to energy costs.

Properly Setting Up Your Air Conditioner

One way to save is by learning to properly set up your air conditioner. You should obtain basic maintenance annually by changing the filters, getting your air conditioning ducts cleaned before warm weather starts, and ensuring the vents are opened. On a monthly basis, it’s vital to change your air conditioner filter. Also, you should use the air conditioner’s energy-saver and keep it on when you are not home. When you adhere to these steps, your air conditioner won’t pull as much energy.

Closing Your Doors and Shutting Your Curtains

Secondly, close your doors and shut your curtains. Keeping your curtains shut during the day prevents the sunlight from warming up your home. Doing this reduces incoming heat up to 30%. Also, the additional heat coming in the home will cause the air conditioner to work harder. Opening the doors at least a half-hour before bedtime is a good thing to do also to ensure the whole house, or at least most of it, will feel comfortable when you wake up.

Replacing/Installing Weather Stripping

Another way to ensure significant savings is by replacing/installing weather stripping. Even if you have tons of windows, it’s important to line them. If you don’t, you risk paying a lot more in electricity costs. You can apply weather stripping on your doors and install insulation pads to the inward part of the electrical outlets. So much heat or air from the air conditioner goes through the cracks of windows, doors, and electrical outlets needing insulation and stripping. Therefore, several hundreds of dollars, even a few thousands of dollars, can be lost in energy costs due to this issue.

Consolidation of Your Freezers

You should also consolidate your freezers, if applicable. If you have more than one freezer, it is better to combine the things in one or fewer freezers if you have a considerable amount of space in one or more of those freezers. Then, you should unplug the ones that are not being used.

Reduction of the Energy Waste of Huge Appliances

Reducing the energy waste of huge appliances is also an amazing electric saving tip. Even if your appliances are energy-efficient, you can possibly reduce your electric bill more by running full loads to reduce the time used in dishwashers, washing machines, and dryers. Also, running huge appliances usually after 8 pm (i.e., during off-peak hours) is best due to lower electric rates at that time.

Upgrading Your Appliances

Upgrading your appliances will go a long way as well. Appliances pull tons of energy. You shouldn’t, however, upgrade them right away if they are in good shape. So, as the appliances breakdown, you should replace them with top-notch, energy-saving features that are affordable for your budget. You can also obtain tax exemptions sometimes for these purchases.

Conclusion

OTC Risk Warnings


Because many securities traded Over-The-Counter (OTC) are relatively illiquid, or “thinly traded,” which tends to increase volatility in market prices, an investment in an OTC security involves a high degree of risk. These speculative and illiquid securities are often difficult for investors to buy or sell without significantly affecting the quoted price. It should be noted that the liquidation of a position in an OTC security may not even be possible within a reasonable period of time.
Dependable information regarding issuers of OTC securities, their prospects, or the risks associated with the business of any particular issuer or an investment in the issuer’s securities may not be available. For this reason, it may be difficult to properly value an investment in an OTC security or accurately determine the risks involved with investing in such a security. For more information about investing in microcap securities, please read the content on the SEC’s website, including the SEC’s investor publication titled “Microcap Stock: A Guide for Investors” available at https://www.sec.gov/investor/pubs/microcapstock.htm.
Issuers of OTC securities quoted on the OTC Link system are not required to provide any kind of information to investors. While many issuers register OTC securities with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and regularly provide reports to investors in connection with such registration, they are not required to continue such registration or regularly provide such reports because their securities are quoted on OTC Link. Securities may continue to be quoted on the OTC Link system if issuers are delinquent in their reporting obligation to the SEC or other federal or state regulatory agencies. Quotation of a security on the OTC Link system does not in itself create any ongoing filing or reporting obligations with the SEC for any issuer. In fact, issuers may not even be aware that their securities are quoted on the OTC Link system.
