Common Questions About Saving on Electric Bills

Electricity is essential for powering our homes and devices. Given the rising price of electricity, it's critical to discover methods for reducing our monthly electric bill and simply avoiding overconsumption. So, we have produced a guide on two of the most frequently asked topics for you to better understand how to save money on your electric bill. If you want to learn more about this service from a professional electrician, call Mr. Electric today.

What Are Some Ways to Lower An Electric Bill?

With the increasing utility prices, electricity can be costly. However, they depend on the little changes everyone can implement today in their house to reduce their electric bill. Let’s go over some of them in this section:

  • Use LED lighting—If you want light bulbs that use 75 percent less energy than traditional lighting methods, it is time to switch to LED lighting. With this simple change, you will save more than you can imagine. An additional thing you can implement with this type of lighting is to make it motion-activated. This will especially help if you have family members who constantly forget to turn off their lights.
  • Get A Programmable Thermostat—Did you know that heating and cooling can account for more than 40 percent of a house's electricity use? Unfortunately, most houses still have an old and inefficient thermostat. By installing a programmable thermostat, you can set the temperature to how you like and save more than ten percent on heating and cooling costs.
  • Unplug Devices Not Being Used—Although they may not be actively used, devices can still consume energy if they are plugged in. To prevent this, you can either manually plug and unplug each item as it is being used or install a smart plug, which allows the homeowner to schedule when a device should get the electricity from a plug. Call Mr. Electric (Katy/Houston) today to learn more from our experienced electricians.

What Factors Influence The Cost Of An Electricity Bill?

Often, homeowners are surprised to hear that the electricity costs differ for everyone. So many factors can influence the cost of an electricity bill. Let’s go over some of them in this section:

  • Location: Many people do not consider location to be a factor that can influence energy prices. However, many different factors, such as a city's tax and fees, geographical factors, the energy source of a region, and the climate of that region, can change the price.
  • Time of Use: Did you know that some electricity providers charge different rates based on the time of the day?
  • Price Based on Demand: If the demand is high, meaning most homeowners use electricity during a specific time interval, electricity providers can charge more compared to when the demand is low.
  • Energy Use: Lastly, the price can change based on the utility providers, the energy plan, and how much energy the homeowner and members use. Call us today to get your electrical inspection.
