So you're spending more time at home because of the coronavirus pandemic... Here are 5 ways you can cut your energy bills to protect the environment this Earth Day.
Americans are spending a lot more time at home these days owed to the coronavirus pandemic. And that could mean a more expensive utility bill.
And once summer rolls around, more time spent at home will equate to a bigger electricity bill thanks to air-conditioning. With millions of people out of work because of the disease outbreak, saving money is crucial right now. “In those situations, people can choose 100% wind or solar electricity for the same exact price as they have for the non-renewable plan,” Trivedi said.
“If your house is older than the 60s, and even if it’s older than the 90s, there’s a really strong chance that you don’t have very much insulation or you don’t have enough insulation,” said Ben Hood, WattBuy’s chief technology officer and co-founder. Improving a home’s insulation can reduce the energy bill by up to 25%, Hood said.
