e. Refrain from using your microwave to thaw frozen meat
If you practice removing frozen meat from the fridge and thawing it in your microwave, you are wasting a lot of money. In order for you to save, remove frozen meat hours before you plan to cook it. You can immerse it in warm water do speed up the process.

Let them cool down first. The fridge will consume a lot of power in order to cool down these hot foods where in fact you can always avoid them.
g. Do not use second fridge if necessary
If you can squeeze all your "fridgeable" stuff inside one fridge, do so. A second fridge doubles your energy consumption.

Leaks will keep the heat from your home thus will push the heating system for work more and consume more energy. This also goes with air conditioning system.
i. Lower down the thermostat by as much as 7 degrees centigrade while not at home or while sleeping
