Living room in Greenwood apartment

Every resident likes to save money on monthly bills in Greenwood, but is it really possible when you live in an apartment? While reducing your rent would be pleasant,, instead, think about your energy expenses.

Whether you inhabit a three-bedroom apartment or a studio, there are many ways you can save money on monthly bills in your Greenwood apartment.

Air filter HVAC maintenance in Greenwood

Replace Your Furnace Filter and Use Less Energy

Full air filters cause your HVAC system to operate harder and use more energy. Dusty filters mean a higher utility bill for you. Not only will a fresh filter help your HVAC system run more productively, but it will also help prevent untimely malfunctions. Anyone who's had the furnace die in the middle of a freezing winter night will advise you it's well worth inspecting and replacing your filter.

You can find an air filter at any chain or home improvement retailer. Just make sure you buy the right size, as a more spacious apartment may need a larger air filter than a single-bedroom. You might also care to find out if the maintenance staff supplies their own replacements. Check the filter every month, even if it's estimated to hold up for 90 days. If you put it up to a light and aren’t able to see through it, that's a good sign it's time for a replacement.

Smart lights in a Greenwood apartment

Save Money on Monthly Bills with LED Bulbs

There are lots of clever ideas for saving money on monthly bills in Greenwood, but some of the favorites is with indoor lighting. LED bulbs require a smaller amount of power than typical filament bulbs and hold up much longer. If you're worried about the first purchase amount, don't be. The cost of LED bulbs has fallen substantially through the years, and there are numerous cost-effective options.

The benefits here is two-fold, because not only will you limit power use, you'll also benefit from not having to buy replacement bulbs as frequently. Check with your unit’s office staff as they might prefer LED bulbs and provide you with them!

Automate Those New Lights With Smart Bulbs

If you fail to turn a light off, you can do so straight from the app instead of allowing it to burn all day. Or manage your energy consumption even further by scheduling your lights to switch on and off automatically.

These high-tech and easy solutions provide peace of mind in other situations. If you're on vacation or on a work trip, you can schedule your lights to come on automatically.
