Yes, our mums used to be tirelessly toiling away on our laundry as well as doing dishes after every meal without so much as a single complaint. It might just be our turn to do the same. With all the electricity operated devices like clothes dryers, dishwashers etc, you might think that your home chores are much lighter. Indeed, while you are not wrong to think so, you are trading off with high utility bills.
What you should do instead is to always air dry your dishes and cutlery and try to use the dishwasher as much as possible and you can be assured that you will shave a fair amount off your utility bill.
Washing your clothes in cold water literally helps you save three quarters of the energy compared to using hot water. In addition, air-drying your clothes reduces 500 lbs of carbon gas emissions annually.

Installing cellular window shades helps to insulate and regulate your interior temperature, thereby enabling you to use less of other air regulating devices and save energy on bills.
