Install a clothesline. We have similar family size (8 kids), and I built a total of 96 feet of clotheslines (3 lines, 32 feet long). I’ve noticed a big drop in our consumption, but won’t see the $$$ results until the resetting of my “bill averaging” amount.

Here’s a suggestion for the box fan and one that I think I need to utilize with our window unit AC and a fan we use in the summer… Use a timer (like one that would be used to automatically turn on/off a light while you’re out of town). Figure out what time you’re asleep and set it for a half hour afterwards. Then you’ll be able to fall asleep and you won’t waste that electricity.

Our major saver is the hot water tank. We actually turn it off most of the time. I turn it on every other day for several hours to run the dishwasher, and take showers. DH takes a shower everyday but the water stays hot in there for up to 2 days, so even on an off day he has a hot shower. This saved us $45 the first month we tried it!
We also turn off the main power (minus the fridge) when we go on vacations. After I mentioned this to the house insurance co, they suggested turning off the main water and never running the dryer while out of the house to get a $30 discount on the annual policy. See if you can get a discount by following your insurances safety suggestions too.

that’s for the great and informative post! it’s something my husband and i are concentrating even more on lately since it looks like the cost of electricity is going up. do you know of a similar website for natural gas? we need to work on that area as well.

When we purchase our next house we plan on installing “on demand” hot water.

You can also save money by setting the water heater to a lower temperature.

Hereafter, I vow to only purchase energy-saver appliances.

We don’t have AC, but have planted trees near the house.

They say a full freezer uses less electricity than a half-empty one.

A power strip is a good idea if you don’t mind resetting the clocks every time.

I have replace a few of my lights with LED lights, which generate no heat. Since I am in the southwest,this is a big difference.

Surprised this isn’t listed in the web site as an alternative ( except for led night lights).

My experience as well is the rates tend to increase each so, so if I remain the same I am good.
