Install a new Solar Energy Power system. This can completely eliminate your energy bills and actually put money back into your pocket as well as dramatically reducing your carbon footprint.
Use compact fluorescent light bulbs. A Sens Electrician can size and install new bulbs.
Air dry dishes instead of using your dishwasher's drying cycle.
Turn off your computer and monitor, TV and other household energy users when not in use.
Plug home electronics, such as TVs and DVD players, into power strips; turn the power strips off when the equipment is not in use (TVs and DVDs in standby mode still use several watts of power).
Lower the thermostat on your hot water heater to 120° F or consider installing a tankless water heater.
Take short showers instead of baths.
Wash only full loads of dishes and clothes.
