Here are ten easy tips to help you conserve more for less!

1. Remember Rule Number One: If you're not using it, turn it off!

2. Get a setback thermostat, with newly installed batteries.

3. Use an automatic furnace humidifier, or a portable humidifier in bedrooms and common rooms.

4. If required, consider a dehumidifier in the basement and other damp areas.

5. Have your furnace, filters and ducts (or radiators) checked for optimum operational condition.

6. Clean your windows, inside and out, and open your drapery on sunny days to heat the house naturally.

7. Upgrade your appliances to ensure you aren't wasting money and energy unnecessarily (you may even be legible for a rebate)

8. Use automatic timers on appropriate fixtures.

9. Caulk or seal all cracks and gaps around the outside of your home and on the inside of your exterior walls.

10. Turn your water heater thermostat down a couple of degrees. Wear a sweater or socks and slippers.
