Consider new appliances
Consider new appliances, especially refrigerators and freezers, and make sure they are Energy Star.
If you need to buy a new appliance, make sure it's an Energy Star certified one. Even if you were not planning on buying new ones right now, for refrigerators and freezers, it may make sense to buy new ones if your current ones are old. The average new refrigerator uses only a third of the electricity of a 25-year-old one of the same size.
If your current refrigerator was made before 2001, it is worth considering replacing it with a more, energy-efficient model. If it was made after 2001, it makes more sense to wait until it needs replacing.
Of course, you can just skip some appliances altogether -- like your dryer for instance. Did you know you can save $80 a year by hanging your t-shirts on a clothesline?
