1. Turn off Unnecessary Lights. When you leave the room, ensure you turn off the light behind you.
2. Use Natural Light. The sun can light up your home during the day for free, however if it is very hot and sunny, you may not want to leave your curtains during the day as it will increase your cooling costs.
3. Use Task Lighting. Using one small task light while you are reading in a room, is more efficient than having several lights on in one room for the same task.
4. Turn off the water in between brushing your teeth, and washing your hands. The less hot water you run, the less energy you are wasting just to have the water go straight down the drain!
5. Unplug unused electronics around your home. Electronics can use power when plugged in, even when they are not in use.
