5 Simple Ways To Immediately Reduce Your Hydro Bill

Everyone loves to save money. The mere mention of a sale will send people scrambling. There have been reports for years of injuries during black Friday deals. The right sale can motivate many, but often you have to wait for them to come to you.
When it comes to your hydro bill however there are a few things you can actively do to reduce your power consumption.

1. Shut it off.

There are a lot of things we leave running in the home all day, only finding them at night when we get home from work: the bathroom fan, the radio, the air purifier.

2. Ditch the baseboard heaters.

Even on standby a baseboard heater can be an energy hog. By replacing them with a different source of heat you can significantly reduce your monthly costs.

3. BBQ during the summer.

It’s true. By cooking outside, not only do you reduce the use of your stove, but you aren’t heating the inside of your home up so you don’t have to rely on the air conditioning as much.

4. Use your power the smart way.

With smart meters these days, you can log into your hydro account and see how you use your power and how best you can use it to save you money.

5. Hang your clothes up.

No one wants to see your gitch on the clothesline, but it could save you some real money. Your drier takes a lot of power. The less you use it, the more likely you will be able to take the family out for dinner.
