ENERGY SAVINGS *Lower your thermostat temperature a couple of degrees and wear sweaters around your house. For every degree you lower your thermostat, you save 2-3 percent on your energy bill. *When you use your dishwasher, stop it before the drying cycle, and open the door to air dry your dishes. *Make sure all your appliances are running smoothly by cleaning the filters regularly. *Unless you are baking, put your food in your oven when you first turn it on. *Close your drapes at night to help cold air from getting in. *Open your drapes wide when the sun is shining to warm your room. *Keep your windows shut as tightly as possible. Locking them will make the seal tighter. *Close doors to rooms that don't need to be heated, like closets, storage rooms, etc. Close the heating vent in unused rooms. *Turn you lights off when you leave a room. It is cheaper to turn them on and off than leave them on, and the bulbs last longer. *Use the lowest wattage possible and still have adequate light.
