If you examine all of the different ways that you use energy in your home, then it will start to become easier for you to identify some ways that you can save. It is likely that more [energy](http://www.energystar.gov/index.cfm?c=products.pr_save_energy_at_home) is put toward the processes of heating and cooling in your home than anything else. This means that this area presents the greatest opportunities for long-term energy savings.

These include: - Changing your air filter regularly - Sealing leaky ducts - Using a dehumidification system - Using a whole house air filter - [Upgrading](https://bc.rodenhiser.com/rodenhiser-blog/air-conditioner-replacement-start-enjoying-benefits.html) your HVAC units to an Energy Star-qualified system - Getting a yearly or biyearly tune-up While the actual purchase of a new HVAC system presents a significant expense, exploring some of the other ideas may surprise you when you see how much they can [lower your bills](http://www.energystar.gov/ia/products/coolingInfographic.html). To further complement the idea of long-term energy savings, you can also consider purchasing Energy Star appliances. Today, you can find washers, driers, refrigerators, microwaves, stoves, boilers, furnaces, dishwashers, TVs and even counter appliances that all carry the Energy Star emblem. If you begin to replace all of your old appliances one by one, even if it is only after they break down, you will eventually outfit your entire home with items that promote saving energy. Even if each one will only save you a few dollars per month, when you multiply that by a dozen or so appliances, it adds up to major savings.
