Reducing Your Utility Bills, Not Your Bank Account Once again it is the dark and chilly time of year – the time when we gag, gasp and pass out when confronted with utility bills. When it comes to energy consumption, we pay in every way possible. So conserving energy will not only help the environment but save our bank accounts from extinction as well. But many tips folks give you for conserving energy aren’t all that cost effective or realistic in the short term. Sure, we’d love to reinsulated our homes, buy new water heaters, replace all our major appliances with newer, more efficient models and protect the environment, saving money in our later years.
