6 Inexpensive Ways to Reduce Your Energy Bill

Is a budgeting plan a part of your new year’s resolution? Why not start with lowering your energy bill…

There are a lot of little things you can do to make a big difference in your heating or cooling bill. Here are just a few examples:

  1. Turn down the thermostat a couple of degrees in winter. (And turn it up a few notches in summer.) Chances are, you’ll hardly notice the difference in comfort, and you’ll cut your heating/cooling costs by about 5%.

  2. Do you need the air conditioner on all the time during the summer months? Consider turning it way up, or completely off, at night when it’s cooler outside.

  3. Invest in a programmable thermostat. That way, you’ll be able to set up a schedule that uses less heating/cooling energy while you’re out of the house.

  4. Let the sunshine in through windows in the winter (and block the sun where possible in the summer.) “Passive heat gain” can contribute to up to 20% of the heat in your home. Best of all, the sun is free.

  5. Use energy-efficient lights throughout your home. These can cut the cost of lighting by up to 40%!

  6. Be careful with outside lights, which can use a lot of energy! Turn them off before you go to bed or, better still, use programmable outside lighting that can be set to turn off automatically.

These are just a few ideas for reducing your energy bill. If you do some research, you can probably discover many other ways to cut your costs. It’s worth the effort!


 
Proof Digital

Proof Digital was founded in 2013. The company, then known as "unINK Marketing & Creative Agency," was focused on building websites, providing graphic design services, and assisting businesses in running digital advertising campaigns.

Today our work is more reflective of a digital consultancy than a marketing agency. Marketing is still very much included in the scope of services we provide; however, we focus on the uniqueness of our clients to identify areas where technology can create a competitive edge and deploy scalable solutions that are cost-effective with high impact.

AI, automation, custom web applications, and data services are the core of most of our work. Over the past four years, we have built a large code stack that allows us to deploy creative products that leverage our clients' data (sales, inventory, accounting data, HR, and more).
