>stop drafty doors & windows with sill pillows & draft guards;
>Open curtains in sunny windows to capture sun warmth/close your curtains at night to retain warmth.
>quilts, throws, etc. on walls also retains heat/ rugs on floors also helps retain heat.
>Turn off electrical things not in use: lights, iron,
>Use rechargeable batteries in everything possible…
>UNplug battery rechargers (cell phone chargers too), as they draw electricity when plugged in;
>Use the microwave for more than 1 item at a time.
>Set your stove timer when you leave the room so you don’t let things overboil or cook out & have to redo it or toss out a burned meal.
>Leave your oven door open after baking in winter to add a burst of warmth to the room.
>Don’t go around barefoot in tank & shorts in winter–layer clothing & wear socks or slippers inside so you can tolerate a lower thermostat temp.
>Use flourescent screw-in light bulbs wherever you can.
>User lower wattage bulbs in overhead fixture or lamps or whatever.
>close or partially close the louvers on your heat/air vents in little-used rooms.
>don’t leave your bathroom exhause fan running for more than 5 minutes or so–it’s removing your warm/cool air too.
