**Install a Programmable Thermostat**: If you haven’t already, get a programmable thermostat. You can set it to lower the heat or AC when you’re not home, which can really cut down on energy usage.

**Unplug Devices**: Don’t forget to unplug chargers and electronics when they’re not in use. Many devices draw power even when turned off, so unplugging can save you some bucks.
