I hope you are settled into your new home and enjoying the wonderful neighborhood!
Something a lot of clients ask me is, “How can I save money on my energy bill?” Well, luckily there are some very tangible things that you can do that will help you get rid of what I like to call “energy vampires.” Energy vampires are those things around your home that suck energy-and money!
Here are a few of my all-time favorite ways to save money by slaying those energy vampires!
If you have any other tips you'd like to share, or if you have any questions about the real estate market, please give me a call at [PHONE].

SAVE MONEY BY SLAYING ENERGY VAMPIRES
Every month, that energy bill comes in the mail. With a bit of help, you can get your energy costs under control, and get that bill looking leaner every month! Now the only question is, what are you going to do with all those savings?
Select energy-efficient windows, skylights, and doors when replacing existing ones. Storm windows, caulking, weather stripping, and window treatments can all be used to reduce heat loss or gain.
Always purchase energy-efficient appliances, and be sure you always operate them in an efficient manner.
Unplug devices when they are not in use.
Do all your laundry on the same day. You'll be able to take advantage of residual heat in the dryer and wash larger loads. Air dry when possible.
When it comes to lighting, only use task-lighting to provide enough light for what you are doing. Dimmers and energy-efficient light bulbs add to overall efficiency.
Keep the thermostat a couple of degrees less than normal to really cut energy costs. Start by turning it down at night or when you are heading out for a few hours.
