OK, so practical steps you can take today to reduce your electricity bill. Nothing difficult here, just things to do that will only take a few minutes at a time.
Number 1
Change How You Use Your Clothes Dryer
- Remove lint from your dryer to allow airflow circulate efficiently
- Dry loads of laundry back-to-back so the dryer doesn’t cool down between loads (a warm dryer uses less energy).
- Only run the dryer until the clothes are dry. Over drying damages your clothes and runs up your electric bill.
- If you’re in the market for a new dryer and already have a gas line in the house, go with a gas dryer. A gas dryer is more efficient. Shop for clothes dryers examining energy saving ratings
- Consider removing clothes from the dryer when they are damp and hang overnight to dry in your house or apartment… if this is possible for you.
