4- Use LED light bulbs. LED light bulbs use 75% less energy and last 25 times longer than incandescent bulbs, so switching to LED bulbs can help you save a lot of money on your energy bills over time.


5- Seal and insulate your home. Properly sealing and insulating your home can help keep the heat in during the winter and the cool air in during the summer, which can save you up to 20% on your energy bills.


6- Use energy-efficient windows. Energy-efficient windows can help keep the heat in during the winter and the cool air in during the summer, which can save you up to 15% on your energy bills.


7- Use a low-flow showerhead. Low-flow showerheads use less water, which means they also use less energy to heat the water. This can save you up to 50% on your water heating costs.


8- Fix any leaks. Leaks in your plumbing can waste a lot of water and increase your energy bills. Fixing any leaks can help you save money on your water and energy bills.


9- Wash your clothes in cold water. Most of the energy used to wash clothes goes towards heating the water. Washing your clothes in cold water can save you up to 90% on the energy used for laundry.


10- Use a drying rack or clothesline. Using a clothes drying rack or clothesline to dry your clothes instead of a dryer can save you up to $100 per year on your energy bills.


11- Plant trees or install shading devices. Planting trees or installing shading devices can help keep your home cooler in the summer, which can save you up to 25% on your energy bills.


12- Use a ceiling fan. Ceiling fans use less energy than air conditioners and can help keep your home cooler in the summer. Using a ceiling fan can save you up to 40% on your energy bills.


13- Install solar panels. Solar panels can generate electricity for your home, which can help reduce your energy bills. Depending on your location and the size of your solar panel system, you could save up to 50% on your energy bills.


14- Use a slow cooker or pressure cooker. Slow cookers and pressure cookers use less energy than a stove or oven, so using one of these appliances can help you save on your energy bills.


15- Turn off lights when you leave a room. Turning off lights when you're not using them can help you save up to 10% on your energy bills.


16- Use a microwave instead of an oven. Microwaves use less energy than ovens, so using a microwave instead of an oven can help you save on your energy bills.


17- Lower the thermostat. Every degree you lower your thermostat in the winter can save you up to 5% on your energy bills.


18- Use a smart power strip. A smart power strip can automatically turn off appliances that are not in use, which can help you save on your energy bills. For example, if you have a TV and a Blu-ray player plugged into a smart power strip and you turn off the TV, the power strip will automatically turn off the Blu-ray player as well. This can help you save on standby power, which is the energy that appliances use when they're turned off but still plugged in.
