save energy and keep your water heater from losing more heat.

Use
compact fluorescents vs. standard incandescent light bulbs. These
bulbs may cost more but use a fraction of the energy a standard incandescent
bulbs uses. Make sure you measure the size of the compact fluorescent bulb

Clean
or replace your furnace filter. Your furnace will run more
efficiently if properly changed during the heating season. Check your filter
throughout the winter season and replace or clean if necessary.

up any air leaks in your home. Air leaks can cost a lot of wasted
energy. Check gaps, plumbing utilities, all the little invisible crack and
holes may add up to as much as an open window or door, without you even
knowing it.

Insulate
your hot water pipes wherever they run through unheated areas.

Install
a programmable thermostat to automatically control your heating.
This is perfect while you are away from home. Programmable
