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 the daylight can help make a dent in your heating costs.
Keep ducts and vents clean.

Your heating system will run more efficiently, and it might last longer.
Take showers instead of baths

Showers use half as much water as baths. Less hot water means less energy used.
Beware of vampire voltage.

Many electronics continue to draw power even when they’re turned off. Be sure to unplug devices when you’re done.
Lower your thermostat.

Each degree over 68°F can increase your energy usage by 3 percent.
