Fill Up Your Freezer
Did you know that your freezer uses more electricity empty than it does when it's full? You can save on electricity simply by filling up the unused spaces in your freezer with bottles of water. Always fill them about 2/3 fill so they don't explode, as the liquid naturally expands as it freezes. The ice helps maintain the inside temperature of the freezer, saving energy on your next electricity bill.
Fix Drafts
Find the drafts in your house, and do something about them. They do more than make sweaters more enticing. Air leaks run up the heating and cooling bills. Consider replacing leaky windows with windows. Put thermal coverings by the cracks of doors. Find the leak in the attic and seal it. You'll be surprised just how much you save by cutting off your drafts with an installation of windows.
Unplug Appliances
It's amazing how much energy can be saved simply by unplugging your coffee maker, your microwave, and even your cell phone charger. These devices slowly sap energy even if they're not used.
