Replace any light bulb, especially ones that are on more than one hour per day, with a light-emitting diode (LED) bulb.

Close shades and drapes during the day to help keep heat out in summer.

Plug electronic devices such as cable boxes, printers and TVs into power strips to turn off during vacations or long periods without use.

Outside your home, caulk around all penetrations including telephone, electrical, cable, gas, water spigots, dryer vents, etc.

Change HVAC air filters monthly.
