Solar panels can be easily installed on your home and are used to collect energy from the sun for use in your home. However, before doing this, you need to consider a few things. The most important thing you need to consider is the amount of sun your home gets regularly. If your house is usually in the shade, solar panels will provide limited additional power.
Are you a farm owner? If you do, or if you are aware of someone that does, you may be able to rent some of the property to a local energy company that will install a type of wind turbine. You and those around you can benefit from the free energy. A turbine doesn't take up much space, either.
If you use fuel oil to heat your home, speak with a technician to see if it's possible to change to bio-diesel. A lot of times this can be done with minimal modifications to your existing system. Biodiesel is a better fuel because it has a cleaner burn and is more efficient.
Research different types of energy sources which may be available in your area. Compare the costs of various utilities, and take current or pending energy legislation into consideration. You may choose, for example, to go from electric to natural gas for heating, or using a well instead of city water.
Window coverings should remain closed while you are away. This cools the house and cuts energy costs. Try to close all your window coverings, but it is especially important to cover any south-facing windows. When possible, however, cover all of your windows with special shades like roller shades, roman shades or dark, thick curtains.

Find out what the cost would be to switch, how much it would cost to maintain, and whether your government has any legislation regarding its use. For example, you might see a savings if you switch from electricity to natural gas, or even switch from electricity to solar or wind power.
