		Leaks in your home waste large amounts of energy. Plug the leaks around your windows with simple caulking and add weatherstripping to your doors leading outside. The City of Houston partnered with CenterPoint Energy in 2006 and went into the Pleasantville community to add these simple measures to homes. In this community we also put insulation in the attics, and just with these few changes the City was able to on average reduce energy consumption by 20% in each home.

A water tank insulation wrap is affordable and helps hold the heat inside. Add pre-cut pipe insulation to exposed pipes going into your water heater-it is cheap and easy to install. If you're starting with an un-insulated tank, the energy savings should pay for the improvements in just a few months.
