Tired of abnormally high bills? Endless expenses? Running out of time and funds to do activities with your family and friends?
Here are some easy-to-perform techniques to help you reduce your electricity bill.
LACK OF ISOLATION
Windows and doors
The number one cause of heat loss from your home is insulation, and it starts with upgrading your doors and windows. The more recent and high-quality your doors and windows are, the warmer your home will remain without increasing the intensity of the heating or the air conditioning.
Blinds
Une petite astuce importante pour aider l’isolation de vos fenêtres est la pose de stores de qualités. Autant en hiver qu’en été, les stores vont aider à tempérer les pièces vitrées. Ils empêcheront le soleil de réchauffer votre maison en été, mais aussi à empêcher l’infiltration du froid en hiver. Laissons faire les pellicules de plastique dans les vitres, les stores agiront comme un isolant parfait et mettront du style dans vos pièces.
Solar shades, hence their name, are designed to protect your home from harmful UV rays. Depending on the degree of opacity, which varies between 1%, 3% and 5%, they still allow you to see outside while preventing being dazzled by the sun. This blind is ideal for keeping the house cool, which will reduce the need for air conditioning in hot summer periods. They can still be useful in winter. Since they do not completely block the rays, the sunlight that penetrates inside helps to keep the heat in the house.
Another model of blind that can help the temperature of your house a lot is the blackout shade. This fabric completely cuts off the entry of the sun's rays into the house. They are very effective, provided they are white on the side that faces outwards. You can still choose the color of the visible side in the house.
house cladding
The lack of insulation can then be due to leaks in your cladding, especially in the basement and roof. It will therefore be important to have a good insulating material, either rigid, mat, bulk, injected or foam. All have their advantages and disadvantages.
Energy saving
We are certainly big consumers. Could we reduce our energy use? Of course! Here are some small tips that will help you significantly reduce your electricity bill.
- Washing your clothes in cold water is not only ecological but economical. This method uses 90% less electricity than hot water laundry.
- Cover your water heater with an insulating blanket. This will decrease heat loss and keep your water effortlessly hot.
- Avoid taking long hot showers or baths. Hot water takes a lot of energy and pushes the total up considerably at the end of the month.
- Start the dishwasher only when it is full. If you wash your dishes by hand, avoid letting the water run. s
- Installing light dimmers helps reduce energy use. In addition, LED bulbs have a much lower energy loss than halogen bulbs.
You just need to change a few lifestyle habits that will ultimately make a big change for your wallet.
