How to Save on Electricity
Electric bills can make or break a family’s budget.
The best way to tame it down though is to continue observing conservation measures that will hopefully lower electric bills.
The Penny Hoarder shared some useful tips.
“Unplug chargers from the wall when you’re not using them and from fully charged phones. Leaving a charger in the wall while you’re at work for nine hours costs you 10 cents a day. In the average household with 25 devices, including Kindles, iPads, rechargeable flashlights, cell phones, laptops and MP3 players, that’s $2.50 a day or $935 a year (plus tax, in most states) for energy you don’t need.”

Mental Floss for its part featured a furniture that can help lower electricity costs.
“The design duo estimates that the Climatic Table can save offices up to 60 percent in heating costs and 30 percent in cooling costs. They plan to start selling it later this year.
