Tip For Saving On Energy Costs

Reduce energy costsWhen you get that unbelievably expensive gas or electric bill, you may look at your utility company as the enemy, but in reality they could well be your best resource for finding ways to save money in these areas. Most energy companies offer free or low cost home energy audits. Simply call your energy provider and ask them to come to your house to do an audit to see where you're spending to much on your energy costs. They will give you a report of what steps (and the cost associated with them) to take to lower your energy costs and how much money you could save by following their recommendations.

Better yet, some energy companies offer energy saving kits at a large discount over retail prices to assist you in finding these savings:

The ($5.00) kit, assembled by Cedar Knolls-based Niagara Conservation Corp., contains several common-sense items to improve energy efficiency in your home.

You'll get an "earth massage" showerhead, a swivel aerator for the kitchen sink and a screw-in aerator for the bathroom sink. Each helps control the amount of water coming from faucets and the shower head while maintaining consistent water pressure. Cut the water flow and you reduce the cost of operating your hot water heater.

You'll also get a package of electric outlet insulators, foam weather-stripping and polyethylene tape for sealing windows and doors. They help you cut down on heating bills by eliminating drafts.

In addition, the kit contains two conservation wheels that provide cost estimators and energy-saving tips to help identify additional ways to save.

..the ($5.00) merchandise would cost $48.74, plus $7.95 for postage and handling, if bought on Niagara's Web site. So you're way ahead even before you save energy.

While your energy company likely doesn't currently offer discounts quite this large, they probably do offer a number of discounts on supplies that will help you reduce your energy consumption and costs. Simply give them a call and ask them how they can help you lower your bill. You may be surprised to find they aren't quite the enemy that you had assumed.
