                 The Best ways to save energy costs. 

         Usually many people complain about the high cost of Con Edison bills. For example each month we get bill for electricity, and my dad always complains when the price is too high. He tells us not to use much  electricity in the rooms that we are not at. There other ways to save on energy costs. 

Bundle up with warm accessories. 
This is the easiest way to save on heating bills. Instead of turning the heat up, put on a cozy winter sweater and socks. Throw blankets on the couch, so it will be warmer, and it will save energy costs.

Adjust the thermostat at night. 
According to the U.S department of Energy, you can save about 10 percent per year on your heating bills by turning your thermostat down 10 to 15 degrees for eight hours. Consider investing flannel sheets and a warm comforter for your bed, keeping your apartment cooler when you sleep. 


Only heat the rooms you use
Some people are always sick, and they like to feel warm all the time, even if the rooms are quite warm. But if you want the billing to be low, you should heat the rooms that you use, otherwise when you get the bill you will be surprised.



Heat the house with sun's help
Sun is our best friend in this situation. Leaving the window shades or blinds open during the daytime. Also using solar heat is good too for normal heating source.



Close the flue in your fireplace.
