As a business owner, you already know how important it is to keep costs as low as possible. Changing your electrical habits is one method to help you do that. The following are ways to implement cost-effective electrical solutions at your business without making any major sacrifices.
Call in a Professional
A qualified electrician can help you determine what changes you can make at your company that could help lower your electric bills. Some changes may include replacing your appliances, switching out your lightbulbs, and utilizing solar power. Schedule an inspection appointment today to get personalized recommendations.
Make the Recommended Changes
As great as it is to get feedback from a professional, it won’t be any good if you don’t make the recommended changes. Some modifications will likely be easier than others, but start doing what you can today. The sooner you make the changes, the faster you’ll likely see them reflected on your utility bill.
Get All Employees on Board
It’s important to get all your employees on board with the changes you’ll be making at your company, especially if you have a large team. Send an email and/or schedule an in-person meeting to give them a heads-up about the effective date of the modifications so they’re aware and they can prepare accordingly if need be.
Schedule Maintenance Appointments
Any appliances you use at work could be major energy drainers, especially if they haven’t had proper maintenance in a while. For example, a professional should check out your HVAC system at least twice per year, and an office refrigerator should be cleaned every two to three months and serviced every six months. The harder these appliances have to work, the more energy they consume.
Take note of how long it’s been since you’ve had professionals inspect and/or clean certain appliances in your company. If it’s been a long time, consider scheduling an appointment as soon as possible.
Use Energy-Saving Power Strips
Energy-saving power strips, when used correctly, can help you save money in a variety of ways, such as reducing the amount of vampire power your company uses. Contact your utility company and ask if they sell them. Although you have to pay for them up front, they could help you save a decent amount of money on your electric bill in the future.
