| A home energy audit can identify ways to save up to hundreds of dollars a year on home heating (and air conditioning). Ask your electric or gas Northeast utility company if they can do this audit for free or for a reasonable charge. If they cannot, ask them to refer you to a qualified professional. |

| Choose Energy Star® Products to save money with your Northeast utility company. Replace incandescent light bulbs with Energy Star® compact fluorescent light bulbs, especially in high use light fixtures. Compact fluorescent lights use 75% less energy than incandescent lights. |

| Ask the Northeast utility company you are comparing who has to confirm your decision to change suppliers. Having someone confirm you are switching protects you against being moved to a new supplier without your permission. This is often called “slamming.” Connect Northeast utilities online. |

| Don't overload appliances that use hot water, such as clothes and dishwashers to save money with your Northeast utility company. The same rule applies to clothes dryers; use drying racks or clotheslines when possible. Connect Northeast utilities online. |

| Eliminate wasted energy. Turn off lights in unoccupied rooms. Unplug that spare refrigerator in the garage if you don't truly need it - this seemingly convenient way to keep extra drinks cold adds 10-25% to your electric bill from the Northeast utility company. Turn off kitchen and bath-ventilating fans after they've done their job - these fans can blow out a house-full of heated air if inadvertently left on. Keep your fireplace damper closed unless a fire is burning to prevent up to 8% of your furnace-heated air from going up the chimney.

| Did you know that the typical U.S. family spends close to $1,300 a year on their home's utility bills?

The amount of energy wasted just through poorly insulated windows and doors is about as much energy as we get from the Alaskan pipeline each year. Why not connect your utilities online?

| It's best if you organise for the Northeast utility company to come and read the meters on the day you move so that there are no argument about the readings. You will need to give them 10 days notice to do this before you move. Connect Northeast utilities online. |
