<human>:  What can I do to reduce energy bills in my home?
<bot>: Start by replacing your old, inefficient appliances with energy-efficient models. Doing so could reduce your energy bills by up to 30%. 2 Look into switching to a renewable energy provider, such as solar or wind power, that offers lower rates than traditional energy suppliers. 3 Consider investing in insulation and ventilation systems to reduce your heating and cooling costs. 4 Unplug any devices or appliances that are not being used, as they can still be drawing energy even when they're not in use. 5 Rearrange your furniture and curtains in order to maximize the amount of natural sunlight you get in each room. This will help reduce the need for artificial lighting. 6 If you're using a hot water heater, make sure to set the temperature at a moderate level. 7 Install a programmable thermostat to control the temperature in each room and reduce your energy consumption. 8 Lastly, be mindful of the temperature you're setting your thermostat at. Try to keep it at a level that won't require you to use excessive energy to cool or heat your home.
