The cost of everything is rising. We wanted to help ease that burden so we came up with the top five things you can do this summer to save money on your energy costs.  These may seem easy and simplistic, but they work! Try them out and tell us if you see a difference.  Connected Technology can help you save even more—book your free estimate to learn how! Did you know that "standby power" accounts for about 10% of an average household's energy usage? It's as easy as turning off your power strips when you're done working for the day, unplugging unused appliances, etc.  TVs, DVD players, computers, printers, radios and many other electronics use energy even when they aren’t turned on.  Going on vacation? Take the time to disconnect these phantom energy users before going away. Avoid using your oven. Cooking with a crock-pot or microwave is more energy-efficient than using your oven. Or you can take it outside to the grill. Maybe it's time for more salads and sandwiches? Whatever keeps the heat out of the house and uses the least energy! Know when electricity peak hours are in your city so you can avoid energy usage during those times, as higher demand means higher prices. Be strategic with running the dishwasher and doing laundry. Maybe even hang those clothes to dry?  Is your thermostat programmable? Time to put that feature to work! Programming it to lower the temperature at certain times of the day (like when you’re at work or sleeping) can save you more than 15% on energy costs. Time to upgrade? We can help with that.  We'd be remiss if we didn't mention the products we offer that help you save. Installing solar will get your off the dependence of rising energy costs. Including a battery backup system will store that excess energy to use when the sun goes down or in case the power grid gets shut down. The SPAN smart electrical panel controls all of your home energy from your phone. Tell where the energy usage is coming from and shut it down from anywhere. We're continually looking for ways to help you save—money, time, energy and the environment. Book Your Appointment Today! Have questions? Send us a message!

Cooking with a crock-pot or microwave is more energy-efficient than using your oven. We’re lucky to live in a climate where we can grill year round!Give a nod to your childhood and opt for decorations that don’t light up. Think wreaths, garland, strings of popcorn, nutcrackers or candles.Those decorations that do light up — use a power strip because even when switched off, your electrical décor still consumes small amounts of electricity. Stop the waste by plugging all of your decorations into power strips. When you switch off the strip, all of your lighted decor will stop draining electricity from the wall outlet. Bonus tip: Unplug electronics before leaving town. TVs, DVD players, computers, printers, radios and many other electronics use energy even when they aren’t turned on. Take the time to disconnect these phantom energy users before going away for the holidays.Use a timer for your lights. You’ve got enough to remember this holiday season. Turning off your lights doesn’t need to be one of them.Speaking of lights, LED holiday lights use up to 90% less electricity than standard incandescent lights. Yes, the initial cost of LED light strings is higher but  they are sturdier and last up to 10x longer. Also, LED bulbs are cooler to the touch than incandescent bulbs, posing less risk of fire. Maybe it’s time to bite the bullet and invest in this long-term savings.It’s also beneficial to know when electricity peak hours are in your city so you can avoid turning on lights at those times, as higher demand means higher prices. During the holidays, we tend to spend more on energy bills from all the cooking, cleaning, heating and, of course, lighting. That’s why using electricity and natural gas more strategically can help you save.Is your thermostat programmable? Time to put that feature to work! Programming it to lower the temperature at certain times of the day (like when you’re at work or sleeping) can save you more than 15% on energy costs. Time to upgrade? We can help with that. Bonus tip: Lower the thermostat when the party starts. While hosting guests, turn down the heat since holiday cooking and having a few extra warm bodies automatically raises the temperature in your home.Don’t let those sunny days go to waste! Keep drapes and blinds open during the day to let that sunshine naturally warm your house. Psst, but remember to close them at night to cut down on drafts from cold windows.Keep your fireplace damper closed unless a fire is burning. Keeping the damper open is like leaving a window wide open because it allows air to escape out of the chimney.Turn home lighting off  when the tree is lit. Enjoy the ambiance from the tree illumination and cut down on waste. - [Smart Panel](https://connected-technology.com/smart-panel/): Connected Technology is proud to be an authorized SPAN Smart Panel Installer in the greater Sacramento and Dallas/Ft.
