How to Lower Your Electricity Bill Without Big Changes
Simple steps you can apply this week to reduce energy waste and improve efficiency at home.
Start with the biggest hitters
Most homes spend the most on heating/cooling and hot water. Small changes here can matter more than switching a single appliance.
1) Switch high-use bulbs to LED
Replace bulbs in your living room, kitchen, and hallway first. Those are often used the most.

2) Reduce standby power
Unplug chargers and use a power strip for your TV and console setup so you can turn them fully off.
3) Adjust thermostat slightly
Try a 1–2°F adjustment and keep it for two weeks. Comfort stays almost the same, but bills often improve.
4) Quick insulation checks
Seal obvious gaps under doors and around windows. Cheap weatherstripping can make a noticeable difference.
Conclusion
Pick two actions and track your next billing cycle. Consistency beats big one-time changes.
