Although the bathroom may be one of the smallest rooms in the house, it can account for a surprising amount of energy use. From long, hot showers to bright lighting, the habits we develop in this space can add up quickly on our electricity bills. By making a few simple changes, you can increase your bathroom\u2019s energy efficiency and cut down your bill. Here\u2019s how to reduce your energy usage in the bathroom and keep your utility costs in check:<\/span><\/p>\n

Be mindful of how much hot water you use.<\/b><\/h4>\n

Hot water usage is one of the main contributors to energy consumption in the bathroom. Taking shorter showers is an easy way to cut back on hot water usage, especially when paired with a low-flow shower head. You can also lower the temperature in the shower or on the water heater to conserve energy. These simple shifts in your shower habits can lead to noticeable changes in your energy conservation and on your power bill.<\/span><\/p>\n

Be aware of your bathroom electronics.<\/b><\/h4>\n

Many of us use several electronics in the bathroom when we get ready every morning. Devices like hair dryers, curling irons and electric razors can drain energy if left plugged in. Phantom power usage can account for up to 10% of your total household energy usage. Make it a habit to unplug these devices when not in use to avoid phantom power usage. Consider plugging these devices into a power strip that has a convenient on\/off switch to make turning them all off easier. Limiting how long you use these items can also help you save energy. You may even consider letting your hair air-dry instead of using a hairdryer when possible.<\/span><\/p>\n

Switch to energy-efficient lighting.<\/b><\/h4>\n

A more simple way of saving energy in the bathroom is to switch to energy-efficient lighting. LED lightbulbs use significantly less power than traditional incandescent lightbulbs. LED bulbs also last much longer, reducing the need for frequent replacement. Make it a habit to turn the lights off when you\u2019re not in the bathroom, or use lighting with motion sensors. If you have a window in your bathroom, take advantage of the natural light by opening the blinds during the day to reduce how much energy you use on artificial lighting.<\/span><\/p>\n

Use the fan for shorter intervals.<\/b><\/h4>\n

The fan is our go-to for reducing heat, humidity and unpleasant odors in the bathroom. They are a necessary part of bathroom function. The key to saving energy usage when it comes to the fan is using it more mindfully. Running the fan for shorter intervals can help reduce energy usage while maintaining air quality. Fans can do their jobs within 15-20 minutes of switching them on. Make sure not to run the fan longer than needed, and regularly clean and maintain it to ensure it operates efficiently to avoid energy waste.<\/span><\/p>\n
