Change Your Air Filter<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

A clogged air filter can lead to some serious hiccups with your heating. A clogged filter can cause your heating to \u2018short cycle\u2019. This means that the thermometer of your heater can register too high, while you still feel cold. This causes you to raise your heat further. The EIA estimates that clogged filters can cause central HVAC systems to consume 5%-15%<\/a> more energy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Swap To LED Bulbs<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

On average, LED light bulbs use up to 75% less electricity<\/a> than other light bulbs. A simple switch can save you electricity each month. And over the long term, you’ll buy fewer replacement bulbs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hack Your Thermostat To Your Advantage<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Using a programmable thermostat can help by lowering the temperature in your house while you\u2019re gone for the day. Save on energy by not having to heat your home as warm as you\u2019d like it when you\u2019re not there to enjoy it!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Layers Are Your Friend<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Try Out Some New Window Treatments<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

As a result, stopping drafts can save up to 30%<\/a> on your electricity costs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pay Your Bills On Time<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Late fees, shut down fees, and reconnection fees can put a world of hurt on your bills. On average, Ohio reconnection fees can range anywhere from 15-52%<\/a> of your bill. Additionally, AES Ohio<\/strong><\/a> charges you 1.5% of your bill<\/a> for late payment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Switch Your Electricity Provider<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
