Switch off unneeded lights.
Lighting accounts for nearly 15% of energy costs. Last to leave? Turn off the lights on your way out the door.
Turn down heat in unused rooms.
Shut doors and partially close warm air vents, but not all the way or your pipes might freeze.
Use your dishwasher wisely.
Run full loads, avoid special cycles, and air-dry or towel off clean dishes.
Consider a Cold Wash
About 90% of the energy consumed for washing clothes is used to heat the water.
Swap out your shades seasonally.
Light-colored window coverings reflect the sun's energy, while darker ones absorb it and release heat.
Use power strips for electronics.
With the flip of a switch, you can easily cut off power to multiple devices at once.
