How to make bills smaller?

To make it more easier let's divide the bills into the four most popular groups like: energy, telephone bills, heating and water. Maybe this will help us find one or two general clues.

1. Energy. The easiest way to save money on energy is to wake up and go to sleep early (what might be problematic sometimes especially during the winter time). This solution is simple and saves us a lot of energy. Especially when the whole family decides to do that.

A more conventional way might be looking closer on the electrical supply that we are using - and sometimes not conscious - in our house. For example the tv and computer monitor that are switched on a stand by position by night are generating energy.

Of course investing in bulbs that saves energy is also worth doing - so as using a full loaded washing machine and dishwasher. It's very important to change those elements in our home cause that's mindless spent money.

2. Telephone. The easiest way to reduce the bills for telephone is to look carefully on the agreement that we have with our supplier. Most of the agreements were signed many years ago and might have higher rates than they are now.

Of course we can do something more radical - like for example talk to our children to spend less time on the phone. But this solution might be hard to do and we can have a good mood ruined in our house.

3. Water. Bills for water usually cost us the most. That's because of importance of water and because of our bad habits. Like for example having baths everyday and tapping water while brushing the teeth. Replacing those habits with shower and turning off the tap might appear a gold mine.

The things that you can also do is to fix the dripping taps, if it's necessary, use the rain water to water the plants and analyze the water metres everyday to check which activities are using most water.

4. Heating. Reduce bills for heating might be more expensive than the other once. Usually the reason of higher bills is the limescale that deposits on our pipes. It's reason is hard water. That's why we usually need to use a water softener that will deal with this problem.

It sounds like a big investment but when we think about it for a while we decide that hard water is also expensive for another reasons - it makes our dishwashers, washing machines and other supplies break easier. And also is bad for our health what means spending money on medication.

The general clue is that the simplest solutions are the best. There are some easy ways that don't cost anything and can save us a lot of money. Some solutions might be more expensive of course but are still easy and in a longer period give us more money. With only small effort we can spend more money for the things that you like the most.

If you are interested in installing a water softener at your home don't hesitate. It will make you and your water treatment system healthier.
