A quick and easy way to save some energy and money is to use
your curtains, shades, and/or blinds. During the summer when you have the air
conditioner on close your curtains, shades, and/or blinds. It blocks out some
of the sun and a lot of the heat. This is especially useful if you're not home
during the day. Why heat up rooms and then run the AC longer attempting to cool
them? In the winter do the opposite. Allow the sunlight to come in and heat up
the rooms some.
Also, if you need some light to do something, open the
blinds a bit and let some light in instead of turning on a light during the
day. It is silly to light up a room when you have a giant free light up in the
sky. When you are done in that room close the shades again. You won't get rich
doing these practices but every little bit helps.
