During the summer months some energy bills can increase due to consistent usage of things like the AC. While we all want to stay cool, we also want to save money!

If you have a smart home, try these tips from Leviton on how to lower utility costs with the use of smart devices.

Schedule high energy consumption activities

Lower your utility bills by scheduling chores like running the dish washer or washing machine and charging your electric vehicle for off-peak hours. Some EV Charging Stations will even let you remotely schedule your charging sessions for these times, so you don’t have to worry about forgetting and driving up your monthly energy bills.

Turn on the fan, lower the AC

Research shows that when ceiling fans are used effectively, thermostats can be adjusted up to four degrees, reducing your home’s energy consumption while maintaining a nice, breezy, and comfortable temperature. No more sweating over the heat or your energy bills!

Using a smart fan controller like Leviton’s Decora Smart 2nd Gen Wi-Fi Fan Speed Controller Switch is an easy-to-install device to control your pull-chain ceiling fan, with the option of controlling and scheduling ceiling fans using with an app, voice assistants like Amazon Alexa, Hey Google, and Apple Siri via HomeKit, or the Apple Home app.

Try out motion-sensing devices

Never forget to turn off the lights again with a motion-sensing switch or dimmer. Motion-sensing lighting controls can help ensure you are not wasting electricity by keeping lights on when you’ve left a room.

Leviton’s Decora Smart Wi-Fi Motion-Sensing Dimmer can even be set to not turn on the lights if there is ample natural light in space, as well as features a built-in guide light to softly illuminate spaces at night, further helping you keep your energy bills down.

Revisit your smart home schedules

If you use a smart home platform to control your home’s devices, consider revisiting your settings in the summer to make sure they as energy efficient as possible.

For example, if you plan on traveling, whether just for a day trip or a weeks long adventure, check your lighting schedules to ensure you aren’t leaving lights and devices on when you’re gone or that you’re keeping you home safe by setting to vacation mode.

GuruNanda Concentrated Mouthwash ($12.78)

Instead of swigging straight from a regular-sized bottle (and using up that bottle very quickly), you just dilute a few drops of Concentrated Mouthwash into water and then swish.

A single two-fluid oz. bottle has as many “servings” as ten 16-oz. bottles of conventional mouthwash. (The bottles are made of recycled plastic.) That means less waste and a smaller carbon footprint. (Bonus: it’s also super portable and TSA-friendly.)

Designed by a team of Western and Ayurvedic oral care experts, GuruNanda Concentrated Mouthwash is formulated with seven purpose-driven, sustainably harvested, pure and natural essential oils. The product contains no alcohol, fluoride, preservatives, gluten, or toxic chemicals and it is not tested on animals.

This Juneteenth (June 19 Freedom Day), celebrate freedom, and the skin you're in, with Kandi Koated Cosmetics limited-edition lipstick ($19.00), a rich dark brown that complements beautiful melanin.

This special edition JUNETEENTH lipstick elevates fan-favorite rich brown matte "Sweet Brownie" lipstick with a commemorative tube with easy magnetic closure.

The lipstick is gluten-free, EU Compliant, vegan friendly, cruelty-free and made in the USA.

The Important of Juneteenth

Juneteenth, June 19th, also known as Freedom Day, commemorates the end of slavery in the United States in 1865. While we may honor Independence Day as July 4th, 1776, it wasn't until nearly a century later that enslaved Black people were finally freed.

The ‘Juneteenth’ Special Edition lipstick celebrates Black culture, and is a tribute to the historical significance of Juneteenth, honoring the emancipation of enslaved African Americans.
