5 Comical Tips To Save Money On City Utilities
City utilities, must they be so expensive?
No.
It doesn't matter if you want to cut heat hogs, plug water waste or power off light loss you can plan to save using the right strategies.
#1: Know Stuff
An ounce of knowledge must be worth a pound of something, in this case it just might be your hard earned money.
How so?
Auditing.
Whoops, where did you go? This is a good audit, unlike most others including IR something or other.
Audits to consider include:
Energy audits
Lighting audits
Online consumption audits
Water usage audits
These audits help your budget say "got it" for increased savings.
#2: Beam Me Up
Yup, just like with Star Trek this method can beam savings to you. Wait! I'm not sure that came out rightIt is possible that I lost it, errr you.
We are talking about your thermostat. Okay, maybe not your thermostat but the one in your house Is what we are discussing.
There are wonderful benefits to be had from swapping to a programmable unit. Stop fretting about leaving the heat on. Because it controls the horizontal and the vertical, or at least the heat.
Cold winter mornings are a delight with this strategy. Just set it to start 30 minutes before you getup and its not so unpleasant to get out of under the sheets after all.
#3A: Put A Cork In It
Please don't be offended, I was talking to your toilet not you.
Yup, it was complaining about the water bottle you put in it because of this recommendation.
Follow these simple steps:
A: Fill your water bottle with something that will make it sink to the bottom of the tank. Great place for all your unused pennies.
B: 1.
C: Quickly look at the refill tank. You notice that ball thing on a stick back there? It doesn't actually drop as far before starting to fill the tank again.
Why? Your watter bottle, that's why.
Not only are you conserving on water but you are also saving your pennies at the same time. Yup, their back there in the water tank should you find yourself in need of them.
#3B: Dueling Flushes
One more point to flush out while on the subject of toilets. Some countries have a dual flush system.
Getting to the bottom of this point, when you need less water you have it and when the stink is up your left with the power.
#4: Carry A Cross
And while you are at it a pair of scissors too, just don't run at the same time.
Why the scissors?
Because you are going to snip away unnecessary energy hogs like cell phone chargers and power strips. Cut through remote control drainage from TV, CD, DVD, and whatever other initials you might think of. And slash through electrical devices like digital clocks and alarms.
If that is a bit extreme for you then at least unplug the puppies as they are known to be able to sap up to 40% of energy expenses each and every month.
#5: Be A Drip
Gorgeious flower gardens and vegetable bounties can get the water they need through drip feeding while you continue to save your pennies in your toilet. The part I like best is that it remembers to do what I forget especially if I put it on a timer.
And the story is told.
Five funny ways for you to keep your hard earned dollars away from the city utilities.
