Ways to Save Money on Your Energy Bill
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 experience all around. Bob was sharp and easy to talk to, and Greg handled the installation perfectly. Would hire them again in a heartbeat.
I returned from vacation to find my AC unit on the Fritz. After calling way too many places I connected with TwinTech. Ive used the company in the past for my furnace so I was happy when I recognized Greg at my front door. Hes great and the service is always top notch. Id highly recommend using twintech for honest, superior service in the Durham region. Thanks!
I called Twin Tech when my air conditioning stopped working. Greg came over to diagnose the issue - the same day. He was able to diagnose the issue and resolve it quite quickly. Although it was a quick fix, Greg was very thorough in explaining the issue and provided great advice. Not to mention, I felt very comfortable having Greg in my home - which I consider very important when hiring a service provider. Twin Tech will be my go-to from now on. Thank you!!
