To get your gas electricity bill under control, you can start by changing old habits. This means taking shorter, cooler showers, shutting off lights when you leave the room and while the sun is still up, and turning off the TV, computer, and appliances when you aren't using them. Turn down your A/C, refrigerator, freezer, and furnace settings, since most people have these set too high. You can then use the savings to start installing energy efficient light bulbs, insulating windows, instant water heaters, heat pumps, and other energy saving devices. Combining the two can save you a great deal of money each month.
