These are all great ideas! Another simple thing that can help is using timers on lights and electronics to avoid unnecessary power usage. Every little bit helps in cutting down that bill and being more mindful of our consumption.

Great list! It's amazing how small changes can add up to big savings on your energy bill, especially with costs rising. I'm going to try the dehumidifier trick for drying clothes indoors!

[Лемми-цш]

Great tips. I used to have to pay $40 for electricity every month. Now I replaced all the lamps with LEDs and took advantage of these tips. Now I pay only $20 per month for 300 kWh.

Great video! I'm definitely going to try the dehumidifier trick for indoor drying, and I appreciate the reminder to unplug those phantom energy users. Small consistent changes really do add up over time.

These are practical and actionable steps—thanks for the reminder to focus on both small habits and bigger changes for long-term savings. It's empowering to see how much control we have over our energy consumption. Now to put these into practice!

[tosca-gt]

Excellent video! I'm particularly keen to implement the tips about phantom loads and smart power strips. Reducing energy consumption is a journey, and every little bit helps both our wallets and the environment.

[bharathgrammer]

Fantastic tips! I'm going to focus on phantom loads by using smart power strips and being more diligent about unplugging devices. It's a marathon, not a sprint, when it comes to reducing energy consumption!

[lennell-yz]

Great video with practical tips! I'm especially interested in the smart power strips to combat those sneaky phantom loads; every little bit helps to lower that bill and be more environmentally conscious.

Thank you so much for this video. It was very instructive.

How about turning down the temperature on the hot water tank? They are usually set at 140 F. By turning the temperature down to 120 F, you should save money. Do the hot water tank insulating blankets really work? I've never seen them in any house in Canada that I have visited.

Tabletop dishwasher on my list. Tea or the dollar tree Jesus candles am told are great, and have a cookie rack which wil; get wrapped in foil...these will go in an old cooking pot to warm my morning tea, a soup or a pot of water, to place inside a amall hot water bottle. Learning the different revipes to make Naan or Pita breads on the skillet. Recipes that have simple ingredients and no yeast.

[DezsikeDevil]

A smart power bar consume more energy than 6 modern devices in standby... Just stick to the manual switch.

Yeah man lets dry our dishes in the street
