Monica Mader 10/25/2016 9:06 AMBought a WeMo outlet for our house to regulate lights that are on/off! It is managed through an easy to use app. A very worthwhile $35 investment for your house. -

Anna Rodriguez 10/20/2016 9:22 AMMaybe you could regulate the hot water, sometimes, depending on the house, the water is really hot and if you regulate it a little bit, you can save energy. Also maybe look at your dishwasher, some have the energy saver option, if you don't use it yet, that could help you :)
