How can you maintain a low light/gas bill?

Question

I have turned on the air conditioner cause it's been hot. But at night i turn it off and open the windows.

Is it true if i un-plug the thing that i am using like the: tv, dvd player etc while i am asleep i won't be charged as much?

Answer 1

Our electricity bill was only $19.00 last month.  It has been 80-100  degrees every day this summer.  You can go to walmart and buy these white shades that you hang in your windows in front of your window curtains.  We never use our air conditioner.  

Answer 2

Save Money on Your Electric Bill

Vampire energy is estimated to cost U.S. consumers $3 billion a year." That's ten dollars per person per year. I wouldn't call that an amazing amount of electricity when i pay $180 - $220 dollars a month.

Answer 3

Yes, that is true.  You can also use a fan instead of AC.  Buy fluorescent bulbs instead of incandescent.  Turn your hot water heater down.  Make sure your windows are caulked so air does not get in or out.  

Answer 4

TVs and other devices do maintain a minimal power when they are off. So they come on instantly. How minimal I really don't know. But I have my computer and T.V. hooked up to a power strip for easy off and on power to them.
