  • Upgrade to LED lighting. LEDs are more efficient, last longer and provide better quality light.
  • Seal gaps in windows and exterior doors with caulk or weatherstripping.
  • Plug electrical devices into advanced power strips or smart plugs, which automatically shut off power to unused equipment.
