Here are some easy-to-adopt-at-home tips that would help gear down your electricity bills.

1. Instead of having your central air-conditioning running all the time at home, just switch on the fans during summer and wear less and light clothing.
2. During winter wear sweater instead of increasing the temperature of your heating equipment at home. Keep your heater at a temperature that would be comfortable for everyone.
3. Seal the cracks around the window and door frames of your house to avoid leakage of cool and hot air. Heat could also leak through conduction due to poor insulation.
4. Replace your incandescent light bulbs with compact fluorescent lamps wherever you can.
5. Instead of using lamps, let the sun rays light up your room.
6. Turn off the lights when you are not in the room.
7. Wash your clothes in cold water unless the clothes really need to be washed in warm water.
8. Instead of using the dryer, dry your clothes in the clothes line as much as possible.
9. Wrap your water heater in insulation and turn down the temperature.
10. Do not load your dishwasher partially; operate it only when there are enough dishes to wash.
11. Cooking in a microwave instead of oven will save a lot of energy. Instead of baking separately, you can bake food items together.
12. Do not leave the appliances plugged in.
13. When you are away from home for a long time, turn off your refrigerator, clean it and leave the refrigerator door open.
