Do as many, or as few, as you want, either way you'll save on your bills:
1. Add insulation to your attic all around your house. I didn't know it, but they have insulations for around your water heater, to cover your pipes, for behind switch plates, and of course, around windows and doors.
2. Don't make your furnace work any harder than necessary, make sure it's in good condition. Change your filters monthly too.
3. Stop your nice warm air from going out the windows. Get some insulated curtains.
4. On a nice sunny winter day allow the sun to come in your home. It can really help heat things up. You can close your curtains at night to keep the cold air out.
5. Now that you've got some good ideas on how to save money on your electric bills, why not take it one step further and actually generate your own electricity?
It's really easy to build and install your own wind turbine or solar panels and it can generate about 60% of the electricity your house will need.
