Everybody looks to save money on monthly bills in Brownsburg, but is it possible when you live in an apartment? While reducing your monthly rent would be pleasant,, instead, focus on your energy bills.

Whether you live in a studio or a three-bedroom apartment, there are various tips on how you can save money on monthly bills in your Brownsburg apartment.

Air filter HVAC maintenance in Brownsburg

Switch Out Your Furnace Filter and Waste Less Energy

Plugged up air filters make your HVAC system run harder and burn more energy. Dirty filters cause a more expensive energy bill for you. A fresh filter will not only help your HVAC system operate better, but it can also help avoid premature breakdowns. Anyone who's seen the furnace die in the middle of a cold winter night will say it's well worth checking and replacing your air filter.

You can pick up an air filter at any big box or hardware store. Just ensure you purchase the proper size, as a bigger apartment might need a larger air filter than a single-bedroom. You may also care to see if the maintenance team provides complimentary replacements. Look at the filter every month, even if it's designed to work for 90 days. If you hold it in front of a light and are unable to see through it, that's an obvious sign it's time for a replacement.

Smart lights in a Brownsburg apartment

Save Money on Monthly Bills with LED Lights

There are many smart ideas for saving money on monthly bills in Brownsburg, but one of the favorites is with interior lighting. LED bulbs need smaller amounts of power than typical incandescent lights and work much longer. If you're anxious about the upfront purchase cost, don't be. The price of LED bulbs has decreased substantially over the years, and there are many affordable alternatives.

The savings here is two-fold, as not only will you reduce power consumption, you'll also gain from not having to buy replacement bulbs as frequently. Talk to your unit’s front office team as they might utilize LED bulbs and provide you with them!

Automate Those New Lights With Smart Bulbs

Did you know your Echo or Home smart speaker do more than only play that song you're wanting to find? Using a smart plug or smart light, you can activate lights through voice commands or your smartphone app.

If you fail to switch off a light you can do so straight from your phone instead of letting it burn the entire day. Or limit your power use even further by programming your lights to switch on and off automatically.

These high-tech and helpful solutions give peace of mind in other ways. If you're gone visiting relatives or on a work trip, you can set your lights to activate automatically. You can give the illusion and make it look like you're home by setting the light to come on at the same time you come home.
