Keep blinds and curtains closed; they serve as a great insulator.
Change the filters in the air conditioners and furnaces since it keeps the system running at optimum efficiency and keeps the air in your home cleaner too.
Plant shade trees especially on the side of the house that gets the most sun.
Use timers to turn lights on and off for when you are not around; it is better than leaving a light on constantly.
Unplug appliances and electronics since some of these items tend to keep using a little electricity even when turned off.
Adjust the temperature before leaving the house or going to bed.
Use compact fluorescent bulbs even if they cost a little more than regular bulbs. They last 10 times longer and use a lot less electricity to burn.
