Use environmental friendly devices
One of the ways to reduce consumption of energy to reduce your electricity bills is to use environmental friendly devices.

Opt for choosing to use an energy efficient electric heating system and eco-friendly air conditioner. When you decide to shift into these devices that conserve power, you will see a difference in your bill and bank.
Turn them off when they’re not in use
When you are doing something in one room, turn off the electrical appliances in the other rooms. When you are sleeping, turn on your night light but shut the power down on the rest of the house. Turn off each and every single electric device you don’t need and are not using. This will save you a lot of cash in terms of your spending on electrical bills.
Adjust your lighting and ventilation
Converting your light bulbs is one of the most effective and least expensive changes you can do to improve the power efficiency of your home. Replace your old incandescent light bulbs by changing it to energy efficient bulbs. They save power and last longer. Consider designing your house around natural lighting. Have more natural sunlight around your house to reduce the need to turn on the lights. Another thing to take into consideration is air flow and ventilation. During the cold icy winters, seal and caulk your doors and windows shut so that it won’t let the cold wind in and the heat from your house out. Use heaters accordingly. During the hot summer days, crack the doors and windows open to let the wind breeze into your house. But if you are cooling your house with air conditioning, shut them closed. Use fans to cool your home instead of air conditioning for more power saving effects.
