Want a plan built specifically for your home?

You've seen where your money goes. Our AI-assisted Savings Recommender takes your exact appliance mix and usage — everything you just entered — and turns it into a prioritized action plan: what to change first, what it's actually worth, and low-cost comfort fixes (curtains, draft sealing, and other cheap wins) tailored to your home and climate.

No affiliate links, no product steering — just an honest, personalized plan.

Why your bill doesn't match the “big” appliances

Fridges and AC units get blamed for high bills because they're big and always running — but the real budget-killers are often things that cycle on and off invisibly: an old water heater, a pool pump, or anything with a heating element (space heaters, tumble dryers, electric ovens). Heating elements draw far more power than motors or electronics of a similar size. If your bill jumped and nothing “big” changed, check for anything that heats.
