Dare to save even more? Albeit a bit extreme, here are a few things you might consider:

1. Invest In Renewable Energy Such As Solar Panels or Wind Turbine Power Systems.

Although it will cost initially, investing in a renewable energy source can eliminate partial or total electricity bills you need to pay every month.

Which one is better? Solar or Wind? For household usage, generally solar is the better choice. However, it will be highly dependent on your geographical locations.

If you live in an area with more wind movements, a wind turbine will be a better option. Wind turbine also utilized less space, although they are taller.

2. Invest in a Home Battery

In conjunction with a solar panel or wind turbine, investing in a home battery like the Tesla Powerwall can save you money in the long run.

A Tesla Powerwall battery will cost you around US$3,500 today for the 10kW system. With installation fees, it will cost you around US$15,000 in total.

Assuming you paid the U.S. national average electricity bill of approximately $140, you will get an ROI (Return on Investment) after 8.9 years.

This means, after 8.9 years you'll be totally free from paying any electricity bills.

Conclusion

Going more energy efficient can save you a lot of money in the long run. As mentioned, you can save 5%-22% more of your income.

Although the initial cost can be significant, it can be a profitable investment in the long run. Start by replacing your appliances with energy friendly alternatives, and simply turning off any appliances or lightings you don't currently need.

Not only you can save money, by being energy efficient you will also give back to the environment.
