Three Easy Ways to Lower Your Energy Bills and Save Big


Posted August 3, 2024 by Solarsme

With rising power rates, homeowners can save by using smart heating controls, switching off standby 'vampire' devices with smart plugs, and installing Home Energy Management Systems (HEMS) for optimized energy use.

 
Many homeowners are seeking ways to lower energy bills due to recent power rate increases. Simple adjustments like shutting off lights in unused rooms help, but there are more tips for reducing energy usage.

3 Simple Ways for Lower Energy Bills

1. Optimize Heating Efficiency

Heating accounts for 50–60% of home energy expenses. Smart heating controls and multi-zone systems can cut costs by nearly 30%. Smart thermostats stop heating when windows are open and learn your habits to enhance efficiency.

2. Replace Energy-Vampire Devices

Gadgets in standby mode, like gaming consoles and TVs, use 23% of household electricity. Smart plugs allow control via smartphone, reducing energy bills by managing these 'vampire' devices.

3. Home Energy Management Systems (HEMS)

With EV sales up 35% in 2023, home chargers increase bills. HEMS shift electricity demand to cheaper periods and manage excess solar energy. They can save 7% on energy use, enhance efficiency, and offer grid feed-in options.
