USE ELECTRICITY DURING OFF-PEAK HOURS
The time of day you use electricity can also affect your electric bill. Energy companies tend to charge more during what they call “peak hours,” where demand for electricity is highest. These peak hours are typi- cally early in the morning or late at night. However, those peak hours have changed as more people are work- ing remotely. Reducing the amount of electricity use during peak hours when reasonable can lessen the load on the power grid and save you some money every month.
TURN DOWN YOUR LIGHTS
Alongside your A/C, your lights can increase your elec- tric bill too. In the summer months, this is an easy fix, with early sunrises and late sunsets, there are plenty of opportunities throughout the day to let in a little extra light without using electricity.
However, there can be cloudy skies and rainy days during the summer when the lights in your home can be necessary. The Lutron Mae-
stro Dimmer can automati- cally turn lights on and off when you enter or leave a room. It’s a simple, easy and low-cost way to save energy and add light automation to your home. It can auto- matically adjust to a favor- ite dimmed level when you walk in, then turn the lights off when you leave.
USE YOUR FAN INSTEAD OF YOUR A/C
A room fan can provide an affordable alternative to your A/C. According to the U.S. Department of Energy, it costs about 36 cents an hour to run your A/C; it costs about a penny an hour to run
a ceiling fan. So as long as you run your fan responsi- bly with other energy-saving strategies, it can help reduce your electric bill.
With its dimmable LED lighting and versatile color temperatures, the Hampton Bay Mena Ceiling Fan uses the perfect combination of technology and energy- saving resources to help you lower your electric bill. It is Energy Star rated and is 50% faster to install than your tra- ditional fan. Plus, the fan is damp rated and can be used on porches or patios, too.
