8 simple tips to save money on your energy bill
Although it may vary from state to state, the average electric bill in the United States is $117.46 per month, which at the end of the year would total a little over $1,400, according to a 2020 report by the Energy Information Administration.

Energy-saving tips
Caroline Solomon, known as neat.caroline on TikTok, has gifted us with various solutions. You can try all of them or just the ones that suit you best to save energy. So take note of these tips and start applying them at home on a daily basis.
ONE: Pack items tightly inside the freezer but leave room in the fridge. The idea is to leave some space for air to circulate, so your refrigerator will take less effort to cool. TWO: Turn off power strips when you leave your house.
Good ideas to try at home
THREE: Use LED bulbs. You can gradually change all the light bulbs in the house. Remember that they consume less energy. According to Energy Use Calculator, an LED bulb costs $1.83 a year and an incandescent bulb costs $10.95 a year. FOUR: Wash clothes in cold water. Check your washing machine and adjust the wash cycle, because cold water takes less energy.
FIVE: Air-dry your clothes in the sun. Of course, by doing this we take advantage of the weather to avoid using the dryer. SIX: Open the curtains in winter and close them in summer. According to Solomon, during the summer “40% of the heat enters through the windows.”
Simple ways to save
SEVEN: Use the oven light instead of opening the door so you don’t overwork your appliances. EIGHT: Run the dishwasher late at night or early in the morning during hot days to keep your air conditioner from having to work harder.
Make these adjustments at home, without spending anything, and you will surely notice the difference on your next bill. If this still does not seem enough to you, we tell you how to save $50 a month on your water bill with a simple item you can get at Home Depot.
