Tips to reduce your monthly electricity bill in Texas

There's a number of reasons your electricity bill might fluctuate from month to month. We've identified some common causes behind these fluctuations, as well as ways to conserve energy and potentially enjoy a more stable monthly bill.

Keep in mind that although we've broken down these energy-savings tips by living situation, many of these tips can apply to anyone. 

Single individuals or couples

When you're living alone or with your spouse, partner or roommate, it's easier to keep track of your usage behavior than when managing a larger family. Evaluate your habits and come up with a plan to make small adjustments that can be beneficial. Start small and work towards making these habits routine.

  • Wash laundry with cold water (90% of electricity used for laundry is simply to heat the water)
  • Reduce the number of laundry loads by waiting until you have a full load to run the washer
  • Opt for LED light bulbs as they can last years and are more energy efficient than other types of bulbs 

Large families

With large families, electricity usage will generally be higher, with even more potential for fluctuation. Work together as a family to establish electricity usage reduction goals and plans on how to achieve them. Certain changes that may be easy for singles or couples may not be as practical for large families. For example, washing with warm or hot water may be necessary if you have very soiled clothes or cloth diapers.

  • Set family goals for reducing usage and work towards them together
  • Educate children on usage, costs and green decisions

 

Be smart about appliance usage

  • Run the dishwasher only when it is completely full
  • Wash full loads of clothes instead of several smaller loads
  • Don’t leave water running

Apartment residents

Since apartments are generally smaller than homes, there may be fewer variables impacting your electricity usage. This means electricity-saving measures could potentially have a greater impact than if you were living in a larger space.

  • Turn off the lights when leaving a room
  • Only run the air conditioner or heater when home
  • Open windows to allow a breeze instead of adjusting the thermostat 
  • Change air filters regularly. This helps your HVAC to function properly and improve the air quality in your apartment.

Homeowners

With a house, there are some added considerations that generally don't come with an apartment. For example, you may have more square footage, which can result in higher heating and cooling costs.

  • Install a smart thermostat that automatically adjusts when you're home or away  
  • Make sure all spaces are properly insulated
  • Plant trees/large shrubs around your home for shade
  • Install window coverings to keep heat out
