Some tips to ensure you save money on your energy bills.

When your thermostat is set below 78°F, each degree cooler can increase your costs by up to seven percent.

You can also toss a dry towel in with your load to help significantly reduce drying times.

Air dry your clothes and laundry. And while we’re on the subject of air drying, get yourself a clothesline and try hanging your clothes and towels to dry instead of using the dryer. The Department of Energy said this will save you about $9.53 a month or $114.36 a year.

Help appliances not work so hard. For example, don’t put hot food in the fridge or freezer. Let food cool before placing it inside and save the extra energy for the fridge to cool down.
