10 LITTLE THINGS YOU CAN DO TO SAVE ELECTRICITY IN THE SUMMER
July 10, 2017 by Stephanie 19 Comments
Electricity bills in the summer can be brutal! Our summer rates are double and
triple what they are in the winter.
If you’re lazy about conserving electricity in the winter, there is some serious
motivation to buckle down in the summertime.
When we moved into our new house earlier this year, I signed up for OhmConnect,
a free program that encourages people to save power by giving you cash for doing
so!
Several times a week I’ll get a text notifying me of the next upcoming OhmHour
(usually a day or two in advance), then during that hour, we try to use as
little electricity as possible (or at least less than our projected usage).
We get our results a couple of days later and if our actual usage was below our
projected usage, then we get points which translate directly into cash via
PayPal. The lower your actual usage versus the projected usage, the more points
you get.
I thought I was excited about OhmConnect, but it has been my kids that have
really taken control and run away with it. Since they’ve been so motivated and
involved with saving electricity (both during OhmHours and generally), I’ve
decided to put all the OhmConnect money we earn in our family fun fund.
Of course in addition to earning money through OhmConnect, we’re also saving
money with a lower electric bill because we’re using less power. Thanks to
the OhmConnect program, we’ve closely examined our energy use and become savvy
power consumers.
In fact, in May our power bill was the lowest that it has been since we moved
into our new house. What makes that even more impressive is that we essentailly
added another household to our bill, now that we have our rental (which is on
the same electric bill).
We’ve learned to be energy conscious and it pays!
We have learned that the little things we do to save electricity really do make
a difference. We already have good habits of the saving electricity in the big
ways, but as we’ve gone the extra mile recently to tackle the little things too,
we’ve seen great things happen (i.e. a cheaper electricity bill)!
AIR DRYER, NOT HAIR DRYER
If you can get away with a summer ‘do’ that doesn’t require a hair dryer, it
will pay off! Any appliances that heat or cool suck lots of electricity.
Letting your hair air dry either at night or during the day is another way to
keep you cool. Plus, you aren’t heating up your house by blowing hot air into
it!
PUT A LID ON IT!
It doesn’t get more simple than this! When you boil water, put a lid on your
pot or saucepan. The water will boil faster, which means you won’t have to keep
the stovetop on as long. Having the stove on as little as possible not only
helps by reducing the amount of electricity needed, but also means you aren’t
heating up your house as much, which is expensive to cool down.
UNPLUG IT
Did you know that even when an appliance is off it’s still drawing power if it
is plugged in? True story. It takes such little effort to unplug something
when you’re not using it, but it can make a difference when you make unplugging
a habit, especially in the summer when rates are higher.
Confession time. I actually learned this a long time, but was too lazy to
unplug things. Could it really make that much of a difference? Well, now,
motivated by OhmHours and high summer electricity rates, we got in the habit of
unplugging and it’s making a difference!
USE FREE AIR CONDITIONING
If you live in a place where it cools down at night, open your windows and let
that cool air fill your home at night. Before it heats up in the morning close
the windows. It’s so refreshing to feel the cool (sometimes even cold!) air in
the morning! This small daily habit has made a huge difference in how much we
need to run our air conditioning.
BE THE THERMOSTAT
Instead to setting our thermostat to a normal temperature, we set it
ridiculously high during the summer (or ridiculously low in the winter). In
essence we use it as an on/off switch for our air conditioning. With a high
temperature set, the default is that the air is off. We make a conscious
decision to turn on the air when it gets too hot. Another benefit is that we
don’t accidentally have the air running when we’re not even home.
DON’T COOK
Many of us would love an excuse not to cook. Am I right? Not only does cooking
take electricity, it heats up your home. Summer is a great time to have a salad
for dinner. (I hated salad until I was in my twenties, but this was the cure for
me.) If you like to grill, that’s a great way to keep the heat outside. If you
follow me on Instagram, then you know that I’m not above serving cold cereal for
dinner on a hot day.
USE THOSE WINDOW TREATMENTS
Curtains and blinds aren’t just to look pretty. Make sure they’re being
functional too! Keep your house cool by drawing the curtains or closing the
blinds when the sun is shining straight in and heating up your house. In the
winter, of course, you’ll want those window treatments open to capture that nice
heat, but in the summer don’t let it make your house toastier.
LIGHTS OUT!
Both my husband and I grew up with this habit, so it’s not a problem for us, but
I have to mention it because it really is a super simple way to make a
difference. I’ve been in many homes where all the lights are on all the time.
If that sounds like your house, it’s time to make a new rule: Last one out of a
room turns off the lights.
SHORTEN THE SHOWER
For a while I thought this was only a matter of conserving water, but I’ve since
seen the error of my ways. One Saturday night, I had all four of our kids their
take baths/showers in right before an OhmHour started. My thought was that if
their baths were over when the OhmHour started we wouldn’t have to have lights
in the three bathrooms on. We ended up not meeting our goal that OhmHour
because the water heater started doing its job (heating up the water for four
simultaneous baths/showers) just as the hour we were conserving energy started.
That was the first time it hit me that shortening showers would reduce the
amount of water that the water heater would have to heat, which is why shorter
showers not only save water, but electricity too!
DITCH THE DRYER
If you already have a clothesline installed at your house, then it’s just a
matter of choosing to use it. If you don’t have a clothesline, then putting one
up might take a little effort (more than the other suggestions on my list), but
it will quickly pay for itself.
A couple of weeks ago I finally put up a clothesline at our new house. I had it
on my “Honey Do” list for a while, but Honey was busy with a million and one
other things, so I grabbed some clothesline rope and some clothes pins at the
store and did it myself. Every time I use it I get excited about the savings.
If you need some motivation, read these 9 reasons to use a clothesline.
CHALLENGE YOURSELF
If you’re in California (or Toronto or some parts of Texas), I recommend signing
up for OhmConnect to both make you aware of the power you’re using and motivate
you to reduce it. After you sign up you’ll need to sign a form (digital
signature of the person whose name is on the utility account) giving permission
for OhmConnect to have access to your utility account. They use your history to
determine your projected use for each OhmHour and to know your actual usage
after the OhmHour occurs.
If you’re somewhere else, try having your own family challenge! Take a look at
your bill and what your family’s average usage is, then set a goal for how much
you want to reduce your electricty usage. Set up a reward that gets your family
excited. For example, you could tell your kids that if they can help reduce the
bill by a certain amount of money, you’ll take half that amount and put it
toward a fun family activity (bowling ice cream party, pizza, etc). Each month
you can heighten the challenge.
Not only will you save electricity and money, but you’ll create good habits have
fun too!

I really liked your tip to turn off appliances that were not in use, as it
can save a lot of energy that would go to random loading. Also, solar
devices play an important role in saving electricity and energy. Solar
energy is a vast, inexhaustible, and clean resource for generating
electricity. Thank you for sharing this post.

I totally agree that renewable energy sources may be used to reduce
reliance on traditional energy. In this way. Thanks for your bright ideas
on saving a penny for power bills.

Our electric company offers prepaid electric service, with a daily report
of consumption. If it goes too high, I don’t have to wait until I get a
whole month’s bill, when the damage has compounded over 30 days. I can bump
up my thermostat a few degrees and hold off on doing laundry until a cooler
day. I also use a clothesline, and love it! So retro and nostalgic, and
great for my wallet. You can also turn your water heater down a few
degrees, imperceptible at the tap or shower, but makes a difference on the
bill. I will be adding some of your other suggestions, to save even more.
Recently, I went shopping around for other electric companies, and there
might be some cheaper than the one you are currently on. They use the same
lines into your home, so switching is seamless. For now, I like
micromanaging our usage, so I’m staying with my current provider. Happy
saving!

Love the post, I didn’t realize how much i could save by just keeping the
lid on my pop when I boil water, but it really adds up and it even helps
get supper ready that much sooner.

I tried the lid on a boiling pot of water thing and guess what it worked!
It seems like seconds after I put the top on , my water was boiling. Who
would have thunk? I also bought on amazon a smart switch to turn off the
washer/dryer when not in use. We only wash clothes once/week but the unit
stays plugged 24/7. It would be too painful to plug and unplug it manually
as the whole unit would need to be dragged out a good distance to get
behind it to do so and we only have so much space and strength. I’m curious
to see how much that saves us. I just got a notice from my electric company
telling us that while we use much less electricity than the average
consumer, we are using 65% more than the elite “light” electric users.
Color me surprised. We are militant about turning off lights in rooms not
in use and rarely turn on the lights during the day. We also only put half
the number of light bulbs in all of our light fixtures. Everything except
for the large appliances, washer/dryer, and tv/cable are left uplugged.
Phone chargers are removed as soon as the item is charged. AC is set at 78
degrees. So definitely am going to see what else we can do to bring down
our numbers. Appreciate the tips!

We don’t have the OhmConnect where I live but we do have a program called
On Call. If the power company needs more power than normal the water heater
may be shut down for about 20 minutes. They give a monthly credit each
month. If they have done it I never knew. And every little bit helps.

We recently had a smart meter for our electricity installed at our house.
Our smart meter has really helped save money as we can see and monitor our
usage on electricity.
We were surprised to notice that most our on electricity usage was down to
our television being switched on for a long time.
We now limit the time our television is on as this has saved us money.

We use the grill, cook with my crockpot, and keep our thermostat up high
while running our ceiling fans. We also try to stretch how much we use our
dishwasher.

I will add- turn off your oven early if cooking, leave the door closed and
let the residual heat finish cooking your food, even though the oven is
off. Done occasionally it makes little difference, but done regularly, it
adds up. Also, turn off your coffee maker as soon as it finishes brewing
instead of relying on the automatic timer to turn it off as set. I’m sure
every model is different, but ours keeps the coffee heated for roughly an
hour after brewing, and turning it off manually really saves in the long
run.

We are pros at saving electricity. Our average use as of last bill was 8.35
kw\day. Some other tips:
1. I always recommend you start with an energy audit. If you don’t know
where you’re using electricity, you won’t know where you’re wasting
electricity. You can buy devices that will tell you how much power your
appliances use. Get one, and go room by room measuring what you’re using.
(Don’t forget to include lightbulbs.)
2. Speaking of lightbulbs, just because your light fitting has space for
five, it doesn’t mean you have to use them all. See if you can get by with
only one or two. And always go for energy saving bulbs. They really do male
a difference.
3. If you have cheap off-peak in the middle of the on night, use timers for
dishwashers, washing machines, etc. Turn off the autodry function on your
washing !machine. And always use a clothesline. Why pay for something the
sun does for free?
4. Dress for the weather. Instead of turning up the heater in the winter,
try putting on a sweater and thick socks. (I have the world’s ugliest but
warmest cardigan and practically live in it during the winter. As I tell my
husband, it’s ugly as sin and warm as hell.) If your house is so cold in
the summer that you need a sweater, or so hot in the winter that you want
to put on shorts, adjust your thermostat.
5. Consider investing in alternative energy . . . but do your homework
first. We used a short lived government incentive to get a 1 kW solar
system for $200. (Because they then lost our metre, we ended up getting 3
years of electricity for free. Best 3 years ever.) We are now locked in to
a very high buyback tariff – any energy we produce first goes to us, but
any excess is purchased off us at a very high rate. Unfortunately, as much
as we would like to add to our system, it doesn’t make sense to do it,
because any alterations to our system negate our contract and was go from a
65¢ feed in tariff to a 6¢ feed in tariff – which is now the current rate.
Indeed some friends of ours missed out on the cheap solar panel deal and
installed a 5 kW system, adding it to their mortgage, figuring it’d pay for
itself in 15 years, only to have their tariff knocked down to 6¢. There is
no way it’ll pay for itself now. So that is why I say, do your homework.
Know what you’ll get and know how long that price is guaranteed.
Of course there are other alternatives to solar. You can build a windmill
in your back yard with a broken washing machine and some PVC pipe. (This
worked well for us until the neighbour’s cow ate our wiring.) Tesla
batteries give you the ability to store excess energy for later use.
Cheaper batteries are expected on the market soon.

I use a clothesline and have shortened my showers — shorter showers helps
keep hot humidity out of the house, too. I also put lids on my pots when
cooking, unless it has to cook with the lid off for the food to turn out.
The thing I have a problem with is unplugging. Some plugs are easy to
reach, but many are not easy, and putting a power strip out in view with
its tangle of cords in my common rooms doesn’t appeal to me, and of course,
I’m not going to unplug my bedside clock or my cordless phone. I compromise
there — we unplug what we can.
We were on an electric savings program that periodically cycled off our
water heater, but we had to drop that. We were told it would be for no more
than a few minutes to an hour any time they had to cycle it off during high
use hours, but they turned off our water heater long enough that we had no
hot water one night. We weren’t the only ones — the man who uninstalled the
power company’s control device admitted he was busy uninstalling them all
over town after that fateful day. We’ve been a little wary of the programs
since. We are good about turning off lights and fans, though, and replace
old bulbs with LED. We can’t turn off our a/c at night during warm weather
because it stays hot and humid all night outside, but we purposely built
our house here in the south with only two west-facing windows. It helps. We
always keep the curtains on them shut during the heat of the day.

Try a master and slave power board for cords in hard to reach places.
These are great for things like home entertainment systems. Plug the TV
into the master outlet and everything else into the slave outlets. Then
with a flick of a switch you can turn everything off. (When you turn
on\off the master you automatically turn on\off the slaves.)
