temperature to 120 degrees.

Cut down
shower times.
Replace
furnace filters - junk in your filter makes your unit work harder.
Maintain
your doors and windows. Inspect and replace weather stripping when needed to
keep hot air inside and cold air from seeping in.
Turn down
your thermostat. Don sweatpants and sweatshirts and turn down your thermostat
to 68 degrees.
