There are many ways to save energy in you home. One way is to set your thermostat at least five degrees lower when you are sleeping. Air conditioning and heat can be dramatically lost because of dust, so clean you furnaces and vents often. Seal cracks around windows and doors to prevent cold air from getting in during the winter. Make sure you don’t cover up air vents with carpet, furniture, or bags. Turn off the faucet while brushing your teeth, and make sure all faucets and shower heads are water efficient. Using natural light rather than artificial light can save a lot on electricity bills. Only use dishwashers, dryers, or washing machines when there is a full load in them. Also, turn down your house temperature when no one is home, especially for long trips. Completely unplugging something from an electrical socket can save a lot of energy too. Finally, make sure you plug gaps around pipes and fans that go through exterior walls or in the ceiling. Using these simple methods can reduce the amount of energy you use in you home immensely.
