Energy Saving Tips and Tricks

[Quantumly]

I turn off the power to the electric water heater during the day and turn it on at night (as needed).

Fill a plastic cup when I brush my teeth and turn off the water flow.

Turn off the shower while I lather-up.

I use low watt light bulbs.

I got a "monster" power strip with a master source such as TV or computer. And several for peripherals, which are dropped when the master is deenergized. You've replaced all your bulbs with LED but maybe not your night lights. Do it now! Some folks with time of day pricing do their laundry after midnight. Small potatoes, yes. But to really frugal people, no potatoes are too small!

Since posting here last, I've discovered...the box fan! I've been able to turn my thermostat up to 90 and get by with just that pointed right at me when home. The a/c still comes on now and then, which is good to keep the humidity down (I don't open windows, which would just let all the dampness in), but I'm hoping to see a much lower electric bill next cycle, and I personally just prefer how it feels: breezy!
