I have been having a heck of a time with our regular electric bills this past winter.
The electric bills I have had were through the roof! After some investigating, it turned out it was because of our central heating and A/C unit running the heating all the time.
After studying some good energy saving tips on some website, I found out that a superb solution was to change our thermostat. I found out that by getting a smart thermostat it could cut our electric bills in half. The reason for this is that a smart thermostat will allow you to not have to run your central heating as well as A/C all the time to achieve the perfect temperatures in your home. This is because it can be turned off as well as on by you when you leave the house as well as when you are on your way home, and right there, you are saving tons of energy. I listened to the energy saving tips as well and got a smart thermostat, and I have already been seeing much better electric bills as a result. When I left the house for work in the day I would turn off the heating or air conditioning. Then, the time would come that I was leaving work as well as at that point I would turn on the heating as well as A/C as I was on my way home. Then when I walked in the door, the house was at the perfect temperature as if it had been running all day.
