Saving on the Electric Bill
, Our heat is supposed to count for 48% of your electric bill and over 50% in the winter months. So cutting back, on heating would be step one in lowering the electric bill. Step 2 is turning off/unplugging all lights and appliances that are not being used. That accounts for 31% of the electric bill. Did you know it costs approximately $0.39 to run your dryer for an hour? And only $0.08 to use your iron for 1 hour!!! More savings there! (Not that I would EVER pop my clothes in the dryer rather than iron!) Check outВ
