How to Keep Your Electric Bill Down
It is officially June and we have been in quarantine for about 3 months now. At this point, we all have adapted to a routine. Everyone has a place for school and work. We are staying inside the house more, cooking more. Watching more television and using electronics. Unfortunately, this is going to be how we live moving forward. Even though we are using more electricity than normal, there are ways to keep your electric bill down. See below our tips and tricks!
UNPLUG
We don’t need to keep everything plugged in all the time. If you are not using it, simply unplug it. Even if an appliance is powered off, you are still using electricity having it plugged in. We understand not everything can be unplugged, like the refrigerator, but make a conscious effort to unplug all the appliances you are not currently using.
Multitask and charge you phones in the car when you are driving!
Use energy saving light bulbs! the LED Light Bulbs are pricer than regular light bulbs but they are a better investment since they will use much less energy.
There is no reason to have your lights on during the day. Take advantage of NATURAL LIGHT! When the sun sets, be cautious of how many lights you have on. If you leave a room, turn the light off.
Make sure you have a licensed electrician check your electric system every four years. Maintaining your electrical system can save you money. Check for broken wires, wire insulation drying out, loose switches, and overheating caused by dirt and oil. This is also a huge risk for starting a fire.
Our level of commitment to our customer and superior service is the reason you can find comfort in choosing Nicholson Plumbing, Heating & Air Conditioning.

Francis from Nicholson Plumbing and Heating was excellent. He was here to evaluate HVAC in our home. He was very patient and answered all my questions. He is also polite and easy to communicate with him. He explained technical concepts to me in layperson terms!

Nicholson offered what is possibly the best customer service I have dealt with in a home repair situation. I called them because I was looking to replace my very old furnace. They came out to do an initial estimate, and then came back when I had some further questions about my options. After installing the furnace, they ran into some problems with my air ducts. This happened on a Friday, and the problem was fixed by Monday afternoon. In addition to their excellent service, they did quality work at a fair price. I would recommend them to anyone looking for an HVAC company in the Framingham area!

Recently used these guys because my HVAC unit AC wasn’t working (first hot day of summer). Showed up on time, wore booties, fixed the unit. During the visit we talked about how my unit was having problems in the winter – which was resulting in NSTAR service calls of maybe 3-4 times per season (I am on a service plan with them). He was the first guy to tell me WHY the problem was happening, and HOW to fix it. I find it strange that all of the NSTAR guys etc. no one took time to point out how to fix the source of the problem…Very professional, smart. I would use them again, and plan to for the fix on my heating unit!
