The Simple Home Energy Checklist That Helps Cut Monthly Bills

Heating, cooling and running a household add up to one of the biggest monthly bills for most families. The good news is that many of the most effective fixes cost little or nothing, and you can do them yourself over a weekend.

What the checklist covers

• Drafts: how to find and seal gaps around doors, windows and outlets.
• Thermostat: simple schedule changes for when you are asleep or away.
• Water heating: the temperature setting most homes can safely lower.
• Lighting and appliances: where switching to LED bulbs and cutting standby power makes the most difference.
• Seasonal jobs: filters, vents and ceiling fan direction for summer and winter.

Answer three quick questions about your home and we will email you the version of the checklist that fits it.

Savings vary from home to home and depend on your climate, home and energy use.
