So how do you reduce energy usage and save money? While you may not be able to control factors like how much your electricity provider charges, you can lower your electric bill by getting a free or inexpensive energy audit and making small daily changes, like turning off lights when you aren’t using them and unplugging electronics after you shut them off.
