Now days, most everyone is trying to trim their monthly budget. It seems everyone is trying to save money where ever possible and really, every dime counts right now. The electric bill is one bill that can be cut by as much as 30% just by making a few, simple adjustments. Here are some tips that will add up to real savings each and every month.

1. Turn off the computer. Each night, make sure to turn off your computer, printer, and other electronics. If you join all your computer type equipment to a surge strip, you can simply shut down your computer and turn off all the devices at once. Just turning off your computer each night, can add up to a savings of 20%.

2. Turn off the lights. This may seem obvious but when you are not in a room, turn off those lights. If it is day time, do not use the lights. Being diligent with leaving the lights off can add up to a savings of 10-20%

3. Turn down the heat and turn up the air conditioning. By turning down the heat by only 3 degrees in the winter, you will save about 20% off your electric bill. By turning up your air conditioner by 3-5 degrees, you will save the same in the summer.

4. Turn down your hot water heater. By turning down your hot water heater to 112 degrees, you will save 5-10% per month. This temperature will leave you plenty of hot water for showers, laundry, and dishes.

5. Hang clothes out to dry. Try cutting down on the use of the dryer. Hang towels, sheets, and anything else you can out on a clothes line. This will save 10-20% each month (not to mention your clothes will smell fresh and wonderful!).

By following this simple tips, a person could save up to $60.00 or more each and every month!
