4. Replace incandescent bulbs with the fluorescent kind, especially in high
use lights

Set thermostat to 65 at night or when you are away (get a timer to do it for you, so you don't forget)

Set hot water heater to a lower temp (particularly good if you have small kids/elderly folks in your home, who could get scalded by too-hot water, and may not have the reflexes to pull away in time to prevent a bad burn)

Vacuum the coils on your fridge regularly

Keep freezer full, but keep room for air to circulate in fridge

Snuggle up with another warm body :7
