Let the sun in.
Allow natural light in to reduce the need for artificial illumination.
Take showers instead of baths.
Showers use half as much water as baths. Less hot water means less energy used.
Keep ducts and vents clean.
Also, replacing the filter in your furnace and AC about every three months will help the heating system last longer.
Use power strips for electronics.
With the flip of a switch, you can easily cut off power to multiple devices at once.
Insulate Hot-water Pipes and Warm-air Ducts
Clean or replace filters for furnaces and heat pumps. Have a qualified contractor clean and inspect heating systems.
Swap out your shades seasonally.
Light-colored window coverings reflect the sun's energy, while darker ones absorb it and release heat.
