Do you live in a house, it is easier to save money, but also you who live in apartments can save several hundred dollars per year.
Share garden machinery and other equipment with your neighbors. Sign up with one or more neighbors to share the purchase of various expensive items such as lawn mowers, snow blower, hammer drill and power saw, that is, those things that are expensive to buy and which you do not use very often. Then you pay only part of the purchase price was and can still use the machines as you need, as long as no one else is already using it. Likewise, you can do with a trailer.
Perhaps you can also team up with neighbors and together pay someone such as snow removal or window dressing instead of ordering these services each one individually.
Rent out part of your home if you live more than you need. Many students need to rent a room during term time.
Lower costs for waste collection by waste sorting, use cloth diapers instead of disposable nappies, composting and so on.
Remember that heating consumes energy. Lower the temperature in general, lower in the rooms you rarely find yourself, lower the temperature at night and lower when you go away to save some extra money.
Review the insulation in the house and also check the valves. Maybe you can reduce or close some.
It is important to choose the right electric companies. Compare different companies and be sure to include both fixed fees and network fees. Consider whether it is time to bind the electricity or whether it is better with mobile right now.
Homeowners should think about having the correct fuse. Many times you have a higher amperage fuses for the head than you need. Power companies have a fixed cost per amperage and it differs quite widely between, say, 16A and 20A.
Try to think about how you use electricity. Switch off the lights in rooms where no one is present. Do not have TV and computer on standby. Replace ordinary light bulbs with lågenergialternativ. Always use lids on pots on the stove. If you have old energy-consuming appliances may be worthwhile to replace them. Always run the washing machine and dishwasher at temperatures as low as possible and stop them fully before starting them. Air-dry laundry when possible.
Get an energy meter and measure how much your appliances consume. Check how much they pull when they're on, when parked, and when the plug is pulled. Sometimes it is not enough to turn off the device but it may be an energy thief also inactive.
When buying new appliances or other devices, you should check how they fare in the comparison of energy.
