Ways to Reduce Energy Bills Other Than Solar Panels

According to Lawley, there are other ways homeowners can reduce their energy bills aside from using solar panels. Most homeowners could actually save money by simply unplugging some appliances whenever they are not being used.

These appliances are called “vampire appliances” because they consume “phantom loads” when plugged in while not in use. This means that these appliances suck up energy even without being directly used. These appliances include a television, computer, kitchen appliances on the counter, and even chargers. By simply unplugging these appliances, one could reportedly save up to $165 in their energy bills annually.
