Upgrade Old Appliances 

You should upgrade old appliances because they use too much energy compared to modern energy-efficient models. Upgrading old appliances is a good way to increase energy efficiency in the home. Old models use more electricity than new models and there are ways to get deductibles on your utility bills if you replace them.  For an introductory discount, we recommend appliance recycling as an option for disposing of your out-of-code apiaries before they further contribute to an inefficient environment. Old dishwasher and dryers can usually cost double the electricity or $4/month – so an upgrade can pay off over time.

Take Advantage Of Time-of-use Electricity Prices

Depending on the time you use electricity will change the price you pay.  By using appliances that consume large amounts of electricity during off peak house you can save 50% on the cost. Electricity prices are most expensive during business hours and cheap at night, on weekends and during holidays. The time of use rates changes during the winter and summer season so make sure you know when electricity costs the least.   Running an average dishwasher at night costs 4 cents an hour versus 18 cents during the daytime.  

Utilize Thermostats On Electric Heaters

Get a thermostat for your electric baseboard heaters to reduce excessive heat output.  Many electric heaters have built in thermostats but we always forget to turn them off.  With a smart thermostat your can turn off the heat with the flick of a switch or from a smart device.
