Everyone is struggling with their finances and one of the best ways to lighten the load is to find ways to lower your electric bill.

Check into upgrading the insulation as this is a huge defense against the outside elements. Finally just be consistent and aware of your usage. Some items do not have to be on all the time. All of these tips will save you a notable amount on your next bill.
