- Install a programmable thermostat and set different temperatures for different times of the day, for example, when you're sleeping.
- Use weather-stripping or caulking to seal windows and doors to eliminate drafts
- Clear the way of your vents to make sure you're getting all the heat possible into your space.
- Replace your furnace filter to keep your furnace from working harder than it needs to.
- Wrap your hot water pipes to keep them insulated.
- Replace your old lightbulbs with LED bulbs. They use less energy and last longer than incandescent bulbs.
- Turn off the lights when you leave a room.
- Use lamps when possible to avoid using large overhead lights.
- Wash your clothes in cold water and select the appropriate water level for your load of laundry.
- Plan your trips to the fridge to keep the door closed as much as possible and avoid standing with the fridge door open.
- Only run the dishwasher when it's completely full.
- Try to use only one TV in the house as a time.
- Keep computers and laptops plugged into a power bar that you can turn off when you aren't using them.
