· Clean Your Dryer Vent: Did you know that dirty dryer vents cause 15,000 home fires a year? In addition to that risk, when a dryer vent is clogged, the drying cycle can double in time. On average, if a homeowner whose dryer typically takes two cycles to dry clothes has their dryer vent professionally cleaned, they can save nearly $150 a year.

· Make the Switch to Cold: Water that is. Switching to cold water washes when doing your laundry can help you save approximately $60 a year.

· Cleaning Glass Shower Doors: If you’re looking for a DIY solution to clean you glass shower doors, mix one cup of warm vinegar with one cup of a dishwashing liquid in a spray bottle. Then, spray the mixture directly onto the door and wipe with a soft sponge. If there is any residue left on the glass, use a glass cleaner to give the doors a final wipe.

· Ditch Dirty Filters: If it’s been more than three months since your last HVAC filter change or cleaning, you’re past due. Keep filters clean, replacing them every 2-3 months at a minimum, to cut down on energy use and prolong system life.
