Tips for Saving Energy

Develop a plan to use less electricity.
Call in the Energy Auditors.
Support clean renewable energy.
Replace regular incandesent light bulbs with fluorescent light bulbs.
Install a programmable thermostat.
Move your thermostat down two degrees in the winter and up to degrees in the summer.
Clean or replace your filters on your furnace and air conditioner.
Chose energy efficent appliances when making new purchases.
Turn off electronic devices that you aren't using.
Don't leave electrical equipment on standby.
Unplug electronics from the wall when you're not using them.
Only run your dishwasher when there's a full load.
Dust off the vent grills at the back of computers, refrigerators, TVs and cookers.
Beat draughts. They can be fixed easily with draught-proofing, secondary glazing or double glazing – the UK’s most popular energy saving measure (although you’ll save more money by installing cavity wall insulation, which is cheaper). Specify ‘Low-e’ glazing, which has a special heat-reflective coating that reduces heat loss through the window by nearly half. Find out more at National Energy Foundation.
Shut that Cooker Door! Don’t keep opening the cooker door. Switch your cooker off a few minutes before your food is ready and it’ll stay hot enough to finish cooking the food.
Shut that Fridge Door! Don’t keep opening the fridge door, letting out all the cold air. Keep the fridge full too. It takes less energy to keep a full freezer cool than it does an empty one. Fill it up with water bottles, or other things from your pantry.
Use a clothes line instead of a dryer whenever possible.
Insulate and weatherize you home.
Wrap your water heater in an insulation blanket.
Make sure buildings are energy efficient.
Switch to green power. More...
Use less hot water.
Become a smart water consumer.
Avoid heavily packaged products.
Farmers, turn food into fuel.
