Develop a plan to reduce your electricity use. This could include installing energy efficient appliances, using LED bulbs, setting electronics to power-saving mode, or unplugging appliances when not in use. 2 Adjust your thermostat. Depending on your climate, use the summer and winter settings as needed, as well as a timer to automatically reduce your electricity use while you're away. 3 Change your energy tariff. Switching to a different energy supplier or tariff may offer you a more cost-effective way to reduce your electricity bill.4 Take advantage of government incentives. Look for government rebates for renewable energy initiatives, such as solar panels, or take advantage of programs that offer discounts for purchasing energy-efficient equipment.5 Utilize natural light and heat. Open your curtains during the day to let sunlight in and turn off the lights when not necessary. In the winter, keep your curtains closed during the night and open them during the day.
