Energy and electricity are expensive and an APS electric bill that is not through the roof expensive is a home-owners desire. We all shudder these days when we get our electricity bills with electricity being a precious and costly commodity. We all need electricity and so we are somewhat bound by our electricity suppliers, but there are ways to lower electricity bills. If your electricity company does not offer you a solution to a lower electricity bill, it may be time to change your electricity company.

Solutions to a high electricity bill

There are many ways to lower your APS electric bill and in fact there are many ways to lower your electric bill in general. Firstly, get yourself and your family into the habit of switching lights off when you leave a room. Then, make sure you switch off appliances when you are not using them. Don’t just switch them off on the switch though, switch them off at the wall. Switch off your geyser after using hot water in the morning, and only switch it on again later in the day when you need hot water. Where you can, go solar. This is not always easy for everyone but you can always go partly solar and there are solar systems that are designed for power failure days.

Load sharing electricity apps

The best solution though, although all of the above things will help, is to get a load sharing device or app, one that ensures you only use electricity (big loads) during the off peak electricity periods, and you can use these same apps to share electric loads. You can get everything ready, such as a washing machine or a dishwasher, or a swimming pool pump (these are examples only, there are other big items that consume a lot of electricity) and the on-switch will only work during a low cost time.

Lower electricity bills

These low cost apps are life changing and you will see your electricity bill go down very quickly. You can ask your electricity supplier to come in and install a load sharing app for you and if they do not offer one, it might be time to change your electricity supplier. Your electricity supplier should be helping you with several ways to bring costs down, and they should do this before you go to them. It is in their interest for electricity use to be lowered and for electricity to be saved.

We all need to do our bit for the environment too. While we use load sharing apps to bring down electricity bills, we are also using them because the less electricity we use, the better it is for the planet. There is therefore a double purpose to having good electrical systems and they are not just about money. They are about lowering our carbon footprint too.
