Lower your thermostat.
Install a programmable or smart thermostat to better control energy costs.
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.
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.
Take showers instead of baths.
Showers use half as much water as baths. Less hot water means less energy used.
Consider a cold wash.
Switching your temperature setting from hot to cold can cut energy use in half for washing one load.
Open your shades on sunny days.
Taking advantage of daylight can help heat the inside spaces and reduce your heating costs.
