Make a Resolution to Save on Your Bills in 2010

It’s that time again, when we all make a list of optimistic goals for the year ahead. With economic times still tight for millions of Americans, one of the top resolutions this year is saving money. Home service expenses are one of the biggest components of a household budget and one of the biggest targets for easy savings.

WhiteFence is here to help trim those costs with a list of simple ways you might be able to lower your bills this year:

• Bundle your services – There are lots of savings to be found out there for consumers that bundle their high-speed Internet, home phone and television packages.
• Audit your television package – Are you paying for channels you don’t watch? Are there channels you want to watch that you don’t subscribe to yet? Look over what you’re paying for now and compare that to television plans offered on WhiteFence. It may be the money you’re spending on certain premium channels you don’t watch would be better spent on the channels you’ve been craving.
• Shop for a lower natural gas rate – There is still plenty of cold weather forecasted this winter throughout the country. Shopping for a lower natural gas rate now could still let you save big on your heating costs.
• Find a better deal on high-speed Internet service – With blazing fasts Internet speeds cheaper than ever, it might be the time to see if you’re paying too much for your current service. Shop Internet plans on WhiteFence to see if you could be getting either the same service for less or faster speeds for what you’re already paying.
• Upgrade to a home phone plan with unlimited calling – Did you rack up a lot of long distance calling charges in 2009? Check over your bills and compare the costs with a home phone plan that includes unlimited long distance calling. You might just find it’s cheaper to upgrade.
• Prepare your home for lower electricity usage – Cutting your kilowatts helps save both money and the planet. Investing in CFL light bulbs and upgraded insulation are two easy ways to save big on electricity costs. For more tips check out our post 7 Ways to Easily Lower Your Electricity Bill.
