Hello World! Welcome Friends! Most of us are always on the lookout for ways to save and spread out our expendable budget for more flexibility. It may seem like some bills cannot be reduced, and with others, it feels like we’re at the mercy of our service provider. If they raise prices, we simply have to pay more to get the same product or service we’ve always received.
Your electric bill is one of these seemingly untouchable expenses, but in truth, it’s possible to reduce your costs for electricity and help the planet at the same time. The key is with prepaid electricity.
How Prepaid Electricity Reduces Your Costs
Why pay for more than what you need? Prepaid electricity can be much more cost-effective than traditional plans that send a monthly bill for your usage. By paying ahead for the number of kilowatt-hours you will most likely need, most electric companies will charge less per kilowatt-hour than if you paid after using them. When or if you need more kilowatt-hours within a given month, you can purchase more.
Most prepaid electricity companies and plans allow you to recharge your monthly allotment of kilowatt-hours whenever you want. Some even give you daily updates so that you can track your usage, eliminating any surprises when it’s time to pay for more hours or adjust your monthly average.
With prepaid electricity, you can save a couple of hundred dollars each year! It makes a lot of sense, mainly because you’re probably prepaying for lots of things that don’t even cross your mind, such as event tickets, your morning coffee or tea at your favorite cafe, and more.
Why Prepaid Electricity is Better for the Environment
Prepaid electricity Dallas companies provide you with daily updates or even offer online consumption tracking for their customers. This can help you more effectively stay on top of your energy consumption, which is better for the environment if you choose to apply the results to your usage.
Some ways to reduce your use of electric power include:
- Unplugging appliances and electronics when not in use
- Switching standard light bulbs for energy-efficient CFLs or LEDs
- Turning down your thermostat just a degree or two
Did you know that you could save as much as 3 percent on your electric bill by turning down the heat just one degree? Heating is by far the most significant electricity and energy cost in a home and accounts for 35 to 50 percent of your energy bill.
With some prepaid electricity companies, your electricity may even be 100 percent renewable, which reduces your carbon footprint even more.
5 Steps to Get Prepaid Electricity
With the benefits to your wallet and the planet, prepaid electricity might be the next best change that you make to your monthly budget. To get started, follow these steps to get set up with prepaid electricity:
- Research prepaid electricity in your state and compare services and plans
- Sign up with the company of your choice (usually available online and in less than a minute)
- Charge up your account with the minimum-required dollar amount
- Get power – as quickly as a couple of hours
- Start saving! Be sure to monitor your usage, especially at the beginning, so that you can maximize your savings and take advantage of rewards for reduced consumption.
