Improve your home office consumption:

If you’re working from home, chances are you are already cutting your monthly expenses. Just think of what you are saving on travel or all those little extras like coffees and takeaway lunches! So, why not make your home office a haven of savings as well? Start by using a smart power board to avoid expensive wastes of energy. And did you know laptops use roughly five times less electricity than desktops? If it’s possible for you, it’s worth making the switch, and don’t forget to activate computer power settings to switch to standby mode when not in use.

Don’t overlook heating and Air Conditioning

If you spend most of your days at home, having the heater or air-conditioner on for lengthy periods will do no good to your energy bills. Start by closing doors, using draft stoppers to help keep your home at the perfect temperature, whatever the time of year. Also, regular maintenance and checks of your heating and air conditioning save you money in the long run. It’s important to regularly change your system’s air filter and have routine maintenance performed by a certified technician. And don’t forget to save on your water heating costs by reducing the temperature on your water heater, especially when not in use!

Keep an eye on lights and electricity

Substitute the wired lighting options in your porch or backyard with solar lights. Solar lighting systems convert sunlight into electricity, which is stored in batteries to be used at night.

Do you use rechargeable batteries already? They might be more expensive at first, but they can turn out to be a worthwhile investment in the long run! If you are eating up batteries every week, it is time to make the switch, better for the environment and your pocket!

Bundle and save big

Last but not least, don’t underestimate bundle deals. You can combine energy, internet, mobile plans, and more: you would be surprised by how much that can save you monthly! Curious to find out? It takes seconds! You can calculate your savings here.
