Unplug appliances when not in use. Turning them off is not enough especially if you don’t plan to use it in few days or so.

Use washing machine, dryer and even your flat-iron on a scheduled basis. Don’t use them on just few pieces of clothes or garments as it’s more advisable to use them on full load.

Allow natural light to pass through in the early morning. Open your curtains or blinds even for just few hours. If you can, you can also setup some solar panels so you can take advantage of sun’s light energy to power some of your small gadgets and appliance.
