Side from the things mentioned, another great idea to conserve energy is through the use of window tints.

Therefore it is well worth considering purchasing an electricity usage monitor and using it to see exactly where all your hard-earned money is going.

Our utilities are one item where we usually do not have a chance to be selective with the provider so we need to maximize efforts to save on our end. One thing I would add is insulation. It is important in your home's heating and cooling. Attic insulation is relatively cheap and is something that you can probably do by yourself relatively easily. If your home is older, and is not well insulated, you are better off to just turn off your heat or AC when you are not there. Then run it as need while there, and dress for the weather. If it is winter, wear sweat shirts in the house. A lot of good points in this article.

I am lucky to be in south florida so our electric heater isn't runing much, although it's in the 40's tonight, brrr. I recently decided to only use my laptop instead of my big powerful computer system. It's saving me a few bucks a month. Also our electric company has an "on call" program where you give them permission to shut off your ac or hot water heater during peak usage times (they can only exercise this option for like 15 minutes in a 4 hour period, and only do it maybe 3-4 times a year). In exchange for this permission they take off $8 a month on my bill. Every electric company is different but check with yours to see if that will help. Good Ideas.

For example, being in the room facing south/west is going to be warmer in the afternoon, so it's a good place to be during winter since you can save yourself some heating costs.

We keep forgetting to turn the light off in rooms that we've been to and I bet we can conserve so much more energy (and $$$) if we are just aware of how much we are wasting.
