It may sound expensive or complex, but it is really cheap and easy as you will be able to see in this guide.

But first things first - What are the most common things we use energy for?

Here is the short list of things you probably also guessed alone:  home heating, water heating, lighting, home cooling, refrigeration, electronics in your home, cooking, clothes cleaning and drying, computers.

Take a good look on this list and guess what; taking simple steps of controlling each one of them and you can really make a difference. Here are just few examples:

1. Make sure your home temperature at winter time or in cold climate when heating does not go over 66°F (19°C)
2. Take shorter showers or you might want to install water constrictor
3. Close light when you leave the room
4. Buy lower energy consuming light bulbs
5. Make sure your home temperature at summer time or in warm climate when cooling does not go below 77°F (25°C). You can also consider use of fan in nice weather, instead of putting your air conditioner into action.
6. Close your TV when not watching (this is one of the major energy consumers in electronics)
7. Use efficiently your washing machine and dryer by putting the right amount of clothes in it and choose the right program
8. Cook small bakery in a small scale oven instead of your big kitchen oven.
9. Check if you really need all these appliances (for example, when was the last time you actually used the golf cart you are charging) or is it the right size (can you live with a smaller freezer in your garage?)
