"Ways to Save on Energy Bills" | Retirement.Radio Network Short
In recent years, appliance manufacturers have put more emphasis on creating products that use
less water and energy than older appliances. These energy-efficient appliances can save you
money on your utility bills, so consider replacing old appliances with newer models.
Alternatively, you can look for lower-cost ways to reduce your utility expenses, such as taking
shorter showers or washing your clothes in cold water. You can also lower energy costs by
covering outlets and regularly replacing your air filter. This will put less stress on your heating and
cooling systems and potentially lower your energy bills.
