Where to Find Help with an Electric Bill

For many residential energy consumers, electric bills are complex and hard to understand. They calculate some abstract amount of energy usage and present a dozen different numbers that culminate in an expensive bottom line.

Fortunately, finding help for your electric bill is relatively easy. With the right energy efficiency strategy and a few smart energy choices, you can reduce your total energy expenditure and improve your lifestyle at the same time.

For example, try one of these energy efficiency strategies to lower your electric bill:

1. Conduct a home energy audit. You can either perform this yourself or work with a professional to audit your home. Throughout the audit, you’ll find key areas for improvement, such as obsolete, energy-hogging appliances, inefficient windows, or inefficient ductwork. Once you improve these elements, your energy efficiency will skyrocket.
2. Make small changes to your lifestyle. Many small changes add up to a substantial difference on your electric bill. Work on using appliances sparingly, keeping your home adequately sealed, and unplugging devices when they aren’t in use.
3. Choose a new energy provider. Finally, do some shopping—most people don’t realize it, but you actually have a choice in energy providers. You can find an electricity supplier with a rate, service level, and commitment to customer service that perfectly fits your lifestyle.
