Plug home electronics into power strips; turn the power strips off when the equipment is not in use.
Insulate heating ducts. In a typical house 20-30% of the air moving through the duct system is lost due to leaks.
Install low-flow showerheads. For maximum water efficiency, select a showerhead with a flow rate of less than 2.5 gpm.
Use Energy Star-qualified CFL and LED bulbs. These LEDs and CFLs use 20-25% of the energy of traditional incandescent bulbs.
Turn off incandescent lights when you are not in the room. 90% of the energy they use is given off as heat, and only about 10% results in light.
