In this video, we tell you how we cut our energy bill in half. Energy costs have risen between 50 and 100 percent in the past 12 months, and (in some areas) more increases are coming soon. In the US, 1 in 6 families are 60 days or more late in paying their utility bill. The impact has left some families, literally, trying to figure out how to keep the lights on.

In July, we got a bill for over $300, we decided it was time to have a show-down with energy consumption and lower our bill. In about six weeks, we lowered our electric usage by 70% and our bill by 66%.

How did we do it? We started with several easy changes and when we saw results, we kept adding more strategies to our daily energy habits.
