What are the easiest ways to reduce my energy bills?

Switch to LED bulbs, install a smart thermostat, seal drafts around windows and doors, use power strips to eliminate phantom loads, wash clothes in cold water, and set your water heater to 120 degrees. These changes are low-cost and can reduce your energy bill by 20 percent or more.

Why It Matters

Small changes add up to significant savings. The easiest energy improvements often have the fastest payback, sometimes within months.
