Saving energy often takes hard work…but not in the case of these energy savings tips!<\/p>\n

So what exactly can you do to save energy in fall that others likely overlook?<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s how you can save a little more than the average homeowner:<\/p>\n

1. Install a Reusable Furnace Filter<\/strong><\/p>\n

You should always change your furnace filter. In Texas, you only need to do this every 1-3 months.<\/p>\n

Check your filter monthly. Replace it if it\u2019s clogged with dirt and dust.<\/p>\n

To get the edge on other homeowners, purchase a reusable furnace filter. It costs more up front.<\/p>\n

But you save more money down the line. Simply wash it off when dirty.<\/p>\n

2. Only Wash Big Loads of Laundry<\/strong><\/p>\n

Did you know your washer uses the same amount of energy no matter how much you wash at one time?<\/p>\n

Yes. Too big of loads can mean your clothes don\u2019t get clean. Don\u2019t overload your washer.<\/p>\n

But do wash as much as you possibly can for the most efficient energy use.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

3. Audit Your Electric Bill<\/strong><\/p>\n

REPs do make billing mistakes. If you notice strange numbers on your bill, analyze a little further into the situation.<\/p>\n

In Texas, it is legal for REPs to estimate your usage for three consecutive months.<\/p>\n

To hold them accountable without putting in too much work yourself, simply read your meter at the beginning and end of each month and take a picture of it for proof.<\/p>\n

One Haltom City woman was charged $341 for gas one month. But her bill actually turned out to be $24.49!<\/p>\n

And then her next month\u2019s bill was $141 when it should have actually been $77.<\/p>\n

You can read her whole story here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

4. Cut Drying TIme 25% <\/strong><\/p>\n

Want to help your dryer do its job and reduce drying time 25%?<\/p>\n

It\u2019s easy! Just toss in a dry towel when you start your dryer.<\/p>\n

It helps soak up water from your clothes so your dryer doesn\u2019t have to work as hard.<\/p>\n

For added efficiency, dry your lightest weight clothes first. This builds up heat in your dryer, which can then be used for your heavier clothes.<\/p>\n

It cuts drying time too.<\/p>\n

5. Boil with a Cover On <\/strong><\/p>\n

Your water gets to boiling point faster when you put a cover on your pot.<\/p>\n

For added energy savings, only use the amount of water you need to adequately contain what you need to boil.<\/p>\n

Don\u2019t fill your pot anymore than you have to.<\/p>\n

Well, there you have it!<\/p>\n

5 energy savings tips, and actually a few more hidden in there also that other homeowners don\u2019t implement.<\/p>\n

Which will you use next?<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
