Keep Your Energy Bill Low While Selling Your Home

Keep Your Energy Bill Low While Selling Your Home Whether you are moving into a new home, getting ready to sell yours or a vacant home, keeping energy costs down is desirable to both buyers and sellers.

Even though there are many energy-efficient options these days, there are a growing number of energy-suckers.

You might be surprised to learn just how much that beautiful lighting feature costs to keep it running 24/7 year-round. Depending on where you live and the wattage needed, that feature could cost an extra $30 per month.

If your house is on the market and sitting empty, that cost (without the enjoyment of usage) can really make you feel like you’re pouring money down the drain.

On that topic of turning things off, just turning appliances off seems it isn't enough. These energy-thirsty devices continue to suckle away at the giant electric grid nipple ... sucking up energy and draining your bank account. Pretty sneaky!

So here's a tip. Put away the cords and the appliances! If you are selling your home, show it off like a model home-no electrical cords. By unplugging the toaster, blender,



toaster grill, juicer, hair dryer, electric toothbrush, phone chargers, and computers, (and every other charger cord you have), you will de-clutter and save money on your utility bill. Individually these appliances may only use up a little bit of energy while turned off, but collectively they can amount to tens of dollars each month.

I know it's not how we live, but it sure does look nice to walk into a home with minimal appliances. You can actually see the counter tops and the floor beneath a desk, instead of an electrical nest.

This isn't just for sellers. It's good for all of us. While we may not put every cord away routinely, we can conserve a bit more by unplugging (from the wall) the appliance; it stops the energy bleed.

Energy-efficient appliances could actually be costing less than heating a room in the house with a 1500 watt space heater.

It's a good idea to get your heating system checked. A buyer's home inspection will reveal issues but if you can start the energy-saving practices ahead of time, you'll be in good shape when buyers ask, "So, what's the average electric bill for this place?
