FREE Tips to Cut Your Energy Bill

Summer is in full swing, and trying to keep cool during the warmer months can significantly increase your electric bill. If you are looking for simple and efficient ways to save some money, please consider the following tips:

  1. Vent it – If you have central air check the vents in your home. Some may be closed. Many believe that closing vents will cut down on energy consumption by preventing the need to cool a room, however that is a myth. Closing vents will increase your energy costs.
  2. Promote better air flow – Position fans so they move the air in the direction you want it to go. When it is hot, ceiling fans should spin counter-clockwise to push hot air up and out. In the winter, spin the fans clockwise to trap the warm air inside. Many ceiling fans have a switch to alternate directions.
  3. Ice Ice Baby – Wash in cold water unless otherwise expressly directed on the clothing label. Heating the water in the drum accounts for 90% of the energy your machine uses. When filling the drier leave about 25% of the drier unfilled leaving room for air movement, which creates more efficient drying.
  4. Dishwashers – The cleaning process requires hot water to get your dishes sparkling clean, however, drying does not. Heated drying helps to prevent water spots but so do rinse agents. The heated dry method in the dishwasher can be disabled and JetDry will prevent spotting.
  5. Everything else – Stick everything you can on a power strip and turn off the power strip at the end of the day. You can schedule a startup and shut down time on your computer so that the computer automatically powers down and restarts at the end and the beginning of the day.

Testimonials

Jarrod and his team were incredible. We worked with Jarrod and Lori on purchasing our first home and it was by far the best experience working with anyone on anything, I've ever had. I was confident knowing they were taking care of us throughout the home buying experience, and even now, after purchasing our home,

Justin Lizotte

We recently closed on our house last week and let me tell you how FLAWLESS and EFFORTLESS the process was with Jarrod's team! This was our first ever home buying experience and I am not sure what people say is so "tough" or a "nightmare". We worked with Erica and she was a rock-star throughout

Alyssa Toth

Lori McVey was nothing short of an excellent and amazing realtor. She is very knowledgeable and understanding and was conscientious to my situation, as well as the entire process of home buying and what to look for and do, etc. When I needed her to come through on something she did so and then some.

Kyle White

Can't say enough about Jarrod and his team. Honest and straight forward, I got a a strong sense of his integrity when I first met him and my first impression was correct. He and Stefanie were always available immediately when I called them. No waiting endlessly for a response or wondering why they hadn't called.
