Switch to compact fluorescent light bulbs (CFLs) - These bulbs save energy and last longer. Changing five of your most frequently used bulbs can save you $100 per year on electric bills. Program your thermostat - Consider a programmable thermostat, which allows you to program the system to reduce output when its not needed (when no one is home during the day or at night when everyone is sleeping). http://www.dwelltechsolutions.com/living-green-tips.html#common_energy_saving_tips
