1. When you are cooking any food in your microwave, position it as near the edge of the tray as you can. The way microwaves distribute heat you will get your food cooked the fastest at the edges.

2. Use a toaster oven instead of the conventional oven for speed and to use less energy.

3. Keep all filters clean. Air filters should be replaced yearly, and dryer filters should be cleaned before each use.

4. Put your dirty dishes directly into the dishwasher and avoid washing them first in the sink. This could save you as much as 32 gallons of hot water.

5. A front-loading washing machine uses half the energy of other models, and up to 40% less water per load. Consider replacing your washing machine with one of these, or if you're looking for one, buy one of these.

6. Buy a self-cleaning oven, which is better insulated than other models. However, don�t use the self-cleaning option, because it uses a lot of energy itself!

7. Maintain fridge and freezer seals so your fridge doesn't have to work as hard. To test the seals, close a piece of paper in the door, then slowly pull on the paper. If it falls out, or is easy to pull, your seals are ready to be replaced.

8. Leave your oven door shut while baking. Use your oven light to check on your food to save energy.

9. Put weatherstripping around your doors to keep heat from escaping through cracks.

10. Make sure that enough air is allowed to circulate inside of your refrigerator. Space items out, as a fridge that is too full is going to waste energy.

11. Make sure your fireplace's pilot light is turned off in summer.

12. If you need a second freezer, get a chest freezer that opens from the top. The cold air will stay in the freezer even when you open it.

13. Keep your freezer and refrigerator away from heating vents, washer and dryer and other heat sources in your home.

14. Keep cellphone and Ipod chargers unplugged when not in use. Better yet, invest in solar or other alternative technology to charge your items. Chargers are responsible for a lot of vampire power sucking compared to the amount of time they are used.

15. Replace outside lights with motion detector lights, so you are only using lighting when you need it. Combine motion detector lights with LED bulbs and/or solar power for super efficient outdoor lighting.

16. Turn down thermostat or invest in a programmable thermostat so you aren�t heating your home at night or when you're gone.

17. Turn off lights when you're not in a room.

18. Make sure that the area between your chimney and the wall is completely sealed. To do this take out the trim and then put in caulk that is designed to resist heat. This will make sure that no air leaks are allowed to pass into your home.

19. Hang your clothes to dry. Dryers use an obscene amount of energy.

20. Enclose your front or rear porch to prevent warm air from escaping quickly every time you open your front or back doors.
