to Save Money Inside Your Home Whether you’re a homeowner or a renter, savvy approaches to running your home can save you money according to house smart experts.

These simple tips from Homes.com, a leading online real estate destination, and sister site, ForRent.com, won’t take much time or effort to execute.

(StatePoint)

1

Programmable Thermostats Available for about $50-$100, programmable or “smart” thermostats can save hundreds of dollars yearly on electricity bills, taking the guesswork out of finding a comfortable temperature for your home. Some models even come equipped with Wi-Fi so you can turn down the thermostat remotely.

2

Low-Flow Shower Don’t wash money down the drain. By taking the environmentally friendly step of replacing outdated showerheads with new low-flow models, you can reduce your water use in the shower by 25 to 60 percent, as well as increase hot water efficiency, according to Energy Department statistics.

3

Extra Payment Over the course of a 30-year loan, one additional mortgage payment yearly can save thousands on annual interest payments.

4

Unplug Many gadgets and appliances consume power even when turned off, a phenomenon known as “phantom power.” Unplug or use a smart power strip to save an estimated 5 to 10 percent on electricity.

5

Houseplants With air pollution levels increasing, improving indoor air quality is important. But air purifiers can cost hundreds of dollars. Consider houseplants to remove toxins from the air and add color, warmth and comfort.

Exploring ways to reduce home expenses can help you save for important upgrades down the line.
