Every resident wants to save money on monthly bills in Westfield, but is it truly possible when you live in an apartment? While cutting your rent would be great,, instead, think about your energy bills.

Whether you reside in a studio or a three-bedroom apartment, there are various methods you can save money on monthly bills in your Westfield apartment.

Air filter HVAC maintenance in Westfield

Replace Your Air Filter and Use Less Energy

Clogged air filters cause your HVAC system to operate harder and expend more energy. Dusty filters mean a costlier utility bill for you. A new filter will not only let your HVAC system run better, but it will also help prevent premature breakdowns. Anyone who's had the furnace die in the middle of a freezing winter night will agree it's well worth inspecting and replacing your air filter.

You can purchase an air filter at any big box or home and garden store. Just make sure you purchase the correct kind, as a more spacious apartment might require a bigger air filter than a single-bedroom. You may also like to find out if the maintenance team supplies free replacements. Look at the filter every month, even if it's rated to last for 90 days. If you put it in front of a light and can't see through it, that's an excellent indication it's time for a replacement.

Smart lights in a Westfield apartment

Save Money on Monthly Bills with LED Bulbs

There are lots of clever ideas for saving money on monthly bills in Westfield, but one of the best is with indoor lighting. LED light bulbs require smaller amounts of power than typical incandescent lights and last much longer. If you're worried about the first purchase cost, don't be. The expense of LED bulbs has decreased significantly through the years, and there are numerous cost-effective alternatives.

The savings here is two-fold, because not only will you limit electricity use, you'll also benefit from not needing to buy replacement bulbs as often. Talk to your community’s front office team as they may prefer LED bulbs and supply you with them!

Automate Your New Lights With Smart Bulbs

Do you know your Echo or Home smart speaker can do more than just play that song you're trying to find? Utilizing a smart light or smart plug, you can operate lights through voice commands or your mobile app.

If you forget to turn off a light you can do so straight from your phone rather than allowing it to burn all day. Or control your power waste even further by programming your lights to switch on and off automatically.

These smart and helpful solutions provide peace of mind in more situations. If you're visiting relatives or on a work trip, you can schedule your lights to turn on automatically. You can give the illusion and make it look like you're home by setting the light to turn on at the standard time you come home.
