Appliances That Could Be Hiking Up Your Electricity Bill

Central Air Conditioning

This is the granddaddy of them all when it comes to beefing up your utility bill. Keeping your home cool in the summer is appealing, but it comes with a luxury price tag.

A central air conditioning system uses 15,000 watts of power per hour. If your electric cost is 10 cents per kilowatt-hour, you’re paying $1.50 an hour to run this system, which can run 24/7 in warm climates. Make sure you are using your system effectively by adjusting the temperature appropriately and closing off areas of the house that aren’t being used.
