Here are a few energy saver tips from Energy Star's website for you and your family.  

1) Check caulking around windows and doorframes for leaks and fill them. Inspect seals around doors and windows and add new weather stripping as necessary — if you can slide a dollar bill easily through the gap you are losing heat, energy and money.

2) Consider adding insulation and/or increasing R-value to recommended levels. This can be a relatively small chore or a large one that requires outside help, depending on the nature of your building. If you wish to know the exact optimal R-value for your area, the U.S. Department of Energy's Oak Ridge National Laboratory has an online calculator .

3) "Tune-up" your heating, ventilating and air-conditioning (HVAC) system with an annual maintenance contract. Even a new ENERGY STAR qualified HVAC system, like a new car, will decline in performance without regular maintenance. A yearly "maintenance contract" costs as little as $100 depending on the building and HVAC system, but can save even more than this.

4) Change, or clean if reusable, your HVAC system's air filters regularly. These filters often cost as little as $2 each but a dirty filter can waste up to $5 per month in energy. In addition to higher operating expenses, dirty filters increase resistance, causing equipment to work harder, possibly leading to premature failure.
