Power-Draining Vampire Sources
  • Vampire sources are devices and appliances
    that are left plugged in twenty-four hours a day.
    This may include your television, your stationary
    computer, your toaster, your speakers, your air
    conditioning system, and more. Upon leaving the
    house, most people turn off lights, turn off the
    air conditioning salt lake city, and unplug
    hazardous items such as curling and flat irons.
    Unfortunately, smaller, less thought of
    electronics such as cell phones and laptops are
    the real culprits for high electric bills.
    Despite the fact that most devices can be charged
    to a hundred percent, chargers do not recognize
    this limit and will continue to consume and
    conduct energy long after the device has reached
    a hundred percent. If your electric bill has
    inexplicably gone through the roof, it may be
    that you are leaving too many items plugged in.
    Consider setting a timer when charging
    electronics, and unplug them as soon as they
    reach full charge. Unplug appliances that arent
    being used, such as toasters, computers, and
    blenders. Overworked air conditioning systems may
    also be a cause. Identify the vampire sources in
    your Salt Lake City home to cut down your
    electric bill by as much as seventy-five dollars
    a month!

Inefficient Lightbulbs
  • When shopping for lightbulbs and other
    household necessities such as air conditioning
    filters, its easy to go for the cheapest option.
    However, generically branded lightbulbs may be
    masking inefficient compositions, which can, in
    turn, drain your home of energy, causing your
    electric bill to skyrocket. Incandescent
    lightbulbs and compact fluorescent bulbs emit
    light and heat in multiple directions, while
    light-emitting diode (LED) bulbs release light in
    a singular direction. Because of this, LED bulbs
    use seventy-five percent less energy than other
    bulbs and last up to twenty-five times longer.
    Though notably more expensive, LED lightbulbs
    will save you loads of money in the long run,
    causing your electric, furnace, and air
    conditioning bills to go down.

Inadequate Insulation
  • Insulation is any material that prevents
    energy from leaving or entering your household,
    specifically electricity, heat, and cold
    energies. The most common types of insulation in
    Salt Lake City homes include foam, concrete,
    fiberglass, mineral wool, cellulose, wood fibre,
    and polystyrene. While wall insulation is what
    most people are referring to when the topic
    arises, windows and doors are also a form of
    insulation, as they can keep out heat and cold.
    If your insulation is worn down or your windows
    arent fully closed, your electric bill is at
    risk of a drastic increase. Insufficient
    insulation forces your air conditioning system to
    work twice as hard as usual just to maintain room
    temperature, and this causes your electric bill
    to go up. If your air conditioning and HVAC costs
    have increased lately, there may be an open
    window or a cracked door somewhere in your Salt
    Lake City home.
