Ways to Save Money on Your Energy Bill
Posted On: September 3, 2021
Homeowners are always on the lookout for clever ways to save money on electricity. In our quest, we stumble upon bizarre and outlandish tips that we are almost always willing to believe.
In this article, we talk about some of the most tried and tested ways you can save on your next electric bill. Read on and spare yourself from experimenting with old wives’ tales!
Rug up!
Covering bare floors can do wonders in keeping the cold from entering your home. Not only do carpets and rugs do wonders in heat retention, they make any space more comfortable, too!
Regularly change your filters.
Regularly changing your filters ensures your home heating is running at its most efficient-state. It only takes a few minutes and can save you tons. This is also the best time to see if there is anything loose or out of place.
If you suspect something is wrong with your heating, call the experts at Twin Tech Heating & Cooling. Twin Tech Heating & Cooling provides expert maintenance and repair services in the greater Ontario Area. Pick up the phone and give us a call at 1.844.894.6832 and start saving on heating, today!
Keep the temperature low when you are not around.
This may not sound new for you but homeowners tend to neglect their this tweak before they leave the house –either that or they think it's a smart way to keep the place warm for when they come home.
Failing to lower the temperature when you are away wastes so much energy, thus causing an insurmountable increase in your electric bill. Try sticking a note by the door that reminds you to adjust the temperature just when you are about to leave the house.
Use the microwave over the oven.
When it comes to heating food and leftovers, using a microwave will cost less compared to using the conventional oven. There is no need to preheat a microwave, which means you can spend more time actually heating your food and spend less on your energy bill.
Choose LED lights.
Most homeowners veer away from buying LED lights because of the steep upfront costs. Though more expensive than their conventional counterpart, LED lights are virtually unbreakable and consume far less electricity.
Aside from saving you money from all the replacements, LED lights also leave little to no carbon footprint, which makes switching an obvious and eco-friendly choice.
Wash your clothes with cold water.
Your clothes don't really need heated water so spare yourself from the added expense and just use cold water.
Not only does cold water work just as well as hot water, they also prevent the fibres from expanding – extending your clothes’ shelf life.
These are a few tips you can do to save some money on your next month’s electric bill. These are just tiny tweaks that can add up to huge savings in the long run – which makes trying them worth your while.

Great sales member named Dave came in told us some amazing items and how they would be priced installed an all. We couldnt believe it! The next day the ac was installed, that day one employee named Greg told us that our furnace was working way to hard and was causing us to use way too much gas. So two days later they came in an installed a new furnace!

They removed and discarded old furnace. Installed new furnace. Installed air intake pipe, that had never been installed by builder, no charge. Replaced loose hose on floor with hard pipe and rerouted it to drain, no charge. Almost 33% cheaper then quote from Enercare, which was the company we dealt with and had insurance with for 8 years. No yearly fee for cleaning/insurance, saves 300 a year. Courteous, professional, fast, and friendly. My wife and I have been recommending them to everyone we know and meet, and will continue to do so. Thanks for everything, Twintech!!!

Finally! An honest company with highly knowledgeable and informative staff. Had a furnace service and found multiply errors in our system from an amateur installer. Very fair price to correct problems and will definitely use again.

During the summer, I previously hired TwinTech to replace my air conditioner when it failed. They did an excellent job so when I decided to proactively replace the furnace I contacted them. The furnace I had was 22 years old and showed signs of internal leakage. It still worked but rather than wait to have it fail in cold weather, I decided to purchase a higher efficiency model before it failed and take advantage of energy efficiency rebates. TwinTech offered very useful advice on the make and model of furnace to choose including high efficiency and variable speed motor. The price was reasonable, TwinTech arrived at the allotted time, installed the new furnace (including some re-routing of exhaust lines since the existing ones were too close to other vents), removed the old furnace, tested the installation and cleaned everything up. Overall, it was a good experience, they did a great job and the new furnace is working well.
