Tips To Lower Your Energy Bills

Sometimes energy bills seem out of control. There are ways to lower your energy bills without cutting back on your energy. The first thing you want to do is make sure the seals in your home allow air through. This is mainly in your doors and windows. Seals will keep cold air out when they are not supposed to, but they also let warm air escape making it harder for you to control temperatures. Mr. Electric has many ideas to reduce your energy bills, and our electrical inspection will help decrease your expenses.

Replace Any Seals That Allow Air Through

If you have any drafts coming through your home, they can make a big difference in how much money you spend on heating and cooling. If you have a drafty door or window frame, seal it with caulk. If gaps around your windows or doors allow air to get through, use weather stripping to fill them up.

The guys were super nice, I loved that they did the work immediately. Also after having a discussion with them about the static electricity from a lightenimg strike we had and it fried everything they suggested a surge protector to keep that from happening again. So we did that.

Dawn Boyd

Scheduled an appointment with Mr Electric of Fort Worth and received a call  they were able to show up early and had Dylan show up on time stocked with a full truck. He was able to diagnosis the issue quickly and restore my power to a few plugs that were causing the breakers to trip continuously. Dylan was very knowledgable, clearly explained the cause and how he would fix the issue, and addressed all concerns that we had. He was replaced two breakers and installed 2 new outlets along with diagnosing the problem in about an hour. Very quick and so far seems to have resolved our electrical issue. Would definitely recommend Mr Electric of Fort Worth!

Dylan was so nice and always on time. Very qualified and explained everything he needed to do in a way I understood. My older house required an outside panel so I had a lot of work but Dylan and his helper worked together very well and finished on time so I was not out of power more than needed. Everything looked and worked great when done. I don't know how he was able to replace the cracked power pole and wiring on my roof so quickly and beautifully. I am very, very impressed with his skill level and would request him for any future work. The company is very well organized and office contact was a pleasure to work with(which is rare since these positions are usually underpaid)so reward her well, she is the "door" to your organization. She and Dylan sealed my deal!

Cody was professional, knowledgeable, and was able to provide me with a quick diagnosis pertaining to a wiring issue in one of my rooms. He gave me the price for the repair/modification and fixed the issue all in less than an hour. Thanks Cody!

Adjust Your Thermostat As Much As You Can

Every degree counts when it comes to lowering your energy bills. Adjusting your thermostat by just five degrees can significantly impact heating and cooling costs yearly. It may seem an inconvenience if you're used to being comfortable at a certain temperature, but once you get used to it (and realize how much more money you're saving), adjusting your thermostat will be second nature!

Choose the Perfect Fridge Temperature

The temperature of your refrigerator can affect how much energy it uses. To reduce energy use, ensure your refrigerator is set at 38 degrees F or below, according to Energy Star guidelines.

Quicker Showers

Showering is another everyday household activity that can take up a lot of water and electricity. When possible, take shorter showers and try not to leave the water running while you shampoo or shave. You'll also want to consider installing low-flow showerheads or faucet aerators to reduce how much water flows out of your faucets.

Wash Laundry With Cold Water

If you have a clothes washer that allows hot water usage, try washing laundry with cold water instead. Most modern washing machines are designed for cold water usage and will still clean your clothes without using as much hot water or electricity as they would otherwise use if they were washed with warm or hot water instead.

Adjust Hot Water Temperature

It may seem like a minor adjustment, but lowering your hot water temperature from 120 to 110 degrees can save energy costs. If you have older children or grandchildren who take long showers, this change could save you hundreds of dollars over a few years. You won't need to worry about the children or grandchildren accidentally burning themselves.

Gain Efficiency With Energy Star Appliances

If you're looking for new appliances or are replacing old ones with new ones, consider purchasing Energy Star models. These appliances are certified by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and Department of Energy (DOE) as being more efficient than non-certified models and costing less over their lifetime because they use less energy and water than standard models. You will also see an increase in the value of your home when selling since buyers are attracted to energy-efficient homes!

Switch To LED Lightbulbs

LED light bulbs use approximately 75% less energy than traditional incandescent bulbs, saving you hundreds of dollars annually on your electric bill. In addition, they last up to 50 times longer than other types of bulbs and don't contain mercury as CFL bulbs do.

Power Strips

Power strips can help reduce the amount of electricity used by your devices by allowing them to be turned off with a single switch instead of unplugging each device. Make sure to use power strips rated for outdoor use if you plan on using them outdoors or in wet areas.

A reliable electrician will thoroughly inspect all electrical systems in your home and identify any issues causing high energy usage so we can make recommendations on how best to address them.
