We have an excellent page  showing electric usage of your most common household appliances. You can reward family members a treat if their participation leads to energy savings. Suggest to them some tips like switching of the lights when they are not present.  Turning off any number of different items when not in use is a big help.  From lights, phone charges, computers to the TV that always seems to be on, it all adds up.

It is also easy to save money on energy costs by making small investments. Replace all the incandescent bulbs present in the house with compact fluorescent bulbs. These bulbs use less energy and last longer so your savings are seen in the months and years to come.  If you do this every time a bulb burns out, as opposed to all at once, the extra cost may not be noticed at all.

The use of  low voltage, or solar lights, for all your outdoor use is another way to save on home energy costs.  Insulation is another aspect of home energy use that is often overlooked.  Add insulation where ever needed and be sure all your doors and windows are sealed with caulking and weather stripping.  From top to bottom, give your home a good dose of  weatherization.  You could take this one step farther and get a home energy audit.  This is one way to see exactly where the money is going.
