    Default Energy Savings

    ~Close your drapes at night to help cold air from getting in.

    ~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.

    ~Open your drapes wide when the sun is shining to warm your room.

    ~Use the lowest wattage possible and still have adequate light.

    ~Keep your windows shut as tightly as possible. Locking them will
    make the seal tighter.

    Thanks. I try to do some of these (open blinds when it's sunny, close them when it's not.

    I also turn the heat down while I am at work and at night right before I go to bed.
