Ensure everyone turns off lights and televisions when they leave rooms. We decided to install power bars with a convenient switch so everyday when the kids go to school they can just flip the switch to turn off their tv, gaming consoles, lava lamps and other gadgets. Look into installing LED lights in your home as well as they take less power to run. 

Give your utility companies a call and see if there are any rebates or deals available to you. If you are already in the market for something new it might be worth it to buy a certain brand or style to get money back. 

Another great trick is to keep your fridge and freezer full even if it’s not filled with food. You can fill it with ice cubes,  water bottles, or anything really to create a fuller effect and it will make your fridge think it’s full and cost less energy to run.
