  Because of all the green energy information online, finding what you need can be hard. Using this article will start you out on the road to a greener home.
  
  Heat each room separately to save money on heat. The best way to accomplish this is to get a floor heating solution with a main board that allows you to monitor different areas and choose a specific temperature. If you live in a large home, this is a wonderful solution.
  
  Thermostat settings should be adjusted according to the season. Lower your thermostat slightly in the winter and raise it slightly in the summer. As you are doing this and removing or adding layers of clothing, it means your home uses less energy as you maintain a good temperature setting.
  
  During the summer months, hang your clothes outside instead of drying them in the dryer. The sun can really make your clothes smell incredible. You clothes will smell clean and fresh when line dried. As well, you save quite a bit on monthly utility costs.
  
  Don't drink bottled water. In many cases, bottled water is simply municipal water that has been bottled, and bottling and shipping it wastes lots of energy. Instead of buying bottled water, use a refillable bottle and a filter.
  
  Changing your heating to solar water can reduce the price to heat your water, hot tub and pool. Solar water heaters use solar energy in an efficient way to heat your water. Many of these improvements will cost you a bit up front, but the cost savings and tax deductions will usually more than offset that cost.
  
  You can increase the energy efficiency of your home by buying energy saving products. Examples of these include windows, light bulbs, and appliances, all of which have been designed to run efficiently on reduced energy. The use of these types of technologies can drastically reduce both your cooling and heating costs.
  
  Trade in your old major appliances for new ones with the Energy Star rating. An appliance that has Energy Star uses less energy than an appliance that doesn't have it. For freezers and refrigerators, the rating guarantees 20 percent less energy used, 40 percent for dishwashers, and at least 50 percent when it comes to washing machines.
  
  To reduce electricity usage, use sensor lights in regularly-used rooms. These motion sensor lights will turn off lights in rooms that are not in use automatically, which in turn, will save you money with your energy bills. Remember to also have these lights outside above your garage and on your porch, too.
  
  A lot of people toy with the idea of adopting green energy, but not many really do what's necessary to make it part of their lives. As you have seen here, there are many ways you can start to make your home greener without spending a large amount of time or money doing it!
