1. Install LED or CFL lighting wherever possible, as they use significantly less electricity than traditional incandescent bulbs.
2. Make sure all windows and doors are properly sealed to prevent air leaks.
3. Replace regular lightbulbs with compact fluorescent lights (CFLs) whenever possible.
4. Unplug electronics when not in use and switch them off at the power strip.
5. Use a programmable thermostat to regulate temperature and reduce energy consumption.
6. Utilize natural sunlight during daylight hours to help heat your home naturally.
7. Insulate any pipes that run through walls to reduce the amount of energy needed for heating and cooling.
8. Seal any cracks around windows and doors to prevent drafts.
9. Use an exhaust fan to remove hot air from living spaces.
10. Install ceiling fans to circulate warm air throughout the room.
