1) Change Furnace Filters

Easy to forget, important to remember!
2) Reverse Those Fans!

Not many people think about this one, but reversing the fan pulls will disperse the heat that rises to the ceiling and could save you 5-10%
3) Winterize Your A/C and Water Lines

Simple, just drain and clean those hoses.
 
4) Turn Down the Water Heater

Most don’t think of this simple step, most water heaters are set at 140 degrees.  If you turn it down to just 120 degrees you’re looking at a savings of 6%.
5)  Drafts

Another simple one, a towel or door stop at the bottom of a drafty door can assist with stopping those cool winter breezes from creeping into your home.  Aside from the money savings it’s just more comfortable.
6) Storm doors and Windows
