How can I reduce my electric bill by 30%?

A combination of strategies can cut your electric bill by 30 percent or more. Start with an energy audit to identify the biggest losses. Add attic insulation, seal air leaks, replace old appliances with Energy Star models, switch to LED bulbs, install a smart thermostat, and use power strips to eliminate phantom loads. Solar panels can push savings even higher. Most homeowners see the biggest savings from insulation and air sealing first.

Why It Matters

A 30 percent reduction in your electric bill means hundreds of dollars saved each year. The right combination of upgrades can achieve this while making your home more comfortable.
