To use energy more efficiently and to cut your energy consumption here are three helpful solutions. 

1.   Close your blinds or drapes in the winter and summer. In the winter, shut your window treatments when the sun goes down to prevent the heat from escaping.  In the summer keep your blinds or curtains closed during the day to avoid overheating the house.

2.   Shut all of your windows, and doors. When the air conditioner is running or the heat is on, make sure all your windows and doors are closed.  This includes even kitchen pantry doors, and closets. You don't want to spend money on heating these rooms.

3.   Use fluorescent light bulbs. They use less energy and last up to 10 times longer than regulars light  bulbs.  You can find fluorescent bulbs in hardware stores and most any where regular light bulbs are sold.
