How to control your heating costs during the Winter season.
Last year my electric bill was sky high in the ranges of 300.ooand more. It was outrageous paying that much and trying to survive with four kids, that was more than my rent? I was further advised by both the electric company and my Apartment maintenance people on how to lower my electric bill.
Here are a few tips I would like to share that got my bill down into the 100.oo’s. Their advice to me was to keep your electric heat between 68-72 no higher.
To only use my washer and dryer like three times a week, which I now do Mon, Tue, wed. For the dryers take up alot of electricity.
Try also if you have using your dishwasher the same days, I know its rough with kids but I invested in paper plates which helped alot.
The most important thing is to have your house, apt, or where ever your living weatherized and believe me there are alot of resources where you can get this done for free. I hope this may help alot of you during this stressful season, for the changed I mentioned helped me save so much money!

Jiji.
I agree with you. Coz, sejuk2 musim tengkujuh ni, saya cepat berasa lapar dan makin berselera nak makan dan minum. Tak tau la if saya duduk di US, lagi la kot

christine, good tips!! we’re using so many electrical appliances in the house, which can make the power cost sky high if we do not optimise the usage *making it a habit to always switch off the light when nobody is in a room helps too*
