Turn lights off when they aren't being used. Yes, we sound like your grandpa... "What are you trying to do? Light the whole neighborhood?"... but it's easy to leave a room and forget to turn off all the lights.

Turn off and Unplug all your unused electronics. You'll use less electricity and not even notice the difference.

Lowering the thermostat while you sleep at night can help save on your heating bills. When temperatures drop outside it can be hard for your heater to keep up. If you hear it running constantly turn it down a few degrees. It keeps the temp comfortable while keeping your unit from overworking.

As much as possible, avoid using large appliances such as the oven, washing machine, dryer, and dishwasher. Reducing and avoiding use of these larger appliances will make your home quieter and your electricity usage much lower.

During the day open your curtains and blinds on sunlit windows to let heat in. Close curtains and blinds where the windows are in the shade. At night make sure to close all curtains and blinds to keep the cold out.

Turn that 15 minute shower into a 5 minute quick rinse, and you'll still be squeaky clean. You can also adjust your hot water heater to a lower setting to reduce usage even further.

When you simply must use the washing machine or dish washer, running only full loads of laundry and dishes will help to eliminate those smaller unnecessary loads, and also reduce usage of your hot water heater.

Make sure your furnace filter is clean, so your unit isn’t working harder than it needs to be. This is overall great maintenance not only for winter but year-round.

Switch ceiling fans to rotate clockwise and set to low. This creates an updraft, forcing warm air to distribute down into the room.

Why not live a little? Wearing lightly worn clothes more than once can help reduce the number of laundry loads you have to do. You'll know it's time to do a load of laundry when you find a sticky-note stuck to your back labeled, "Captain Stinkopotamus".
