By far, your furnace and/or air conditioner will be your biggest energy user in the home explains an electrician. Fort Lauderdale homeowners that want to lower their monthly electric bill need to make some adjustments to the way they are heating and cooling their home. Having ceiling fans installed is a very effective way to lower your air conditioning bill and can help circulate heat in the cooler months.
Another major energy hog in your home is the hot water heater. You can have your electrician in Fort Lauderdale install a new, more energy efficient hot water heater to help lower your electric bill. There are a number of tank styles that conserve energy by being better insulated or even relying on solar power. If you aren’t ready to make that investment, shortening showers by a few minutes and only running full loads in the dishwasher and washing machine can also help. Don’t leave the water running when you are wiping down counters. Turn it off in between to save a gallon of water here and there.
Every little bit you do helps, even if it doesn’t translate to a lot of money at the end of the month. Give Elcon Electric a call today if you would like a ceiling fan installed or have questions.
