Replace

Replacing light bulbs can be a great way to save some money on utilities. A person should change their incandescent light bulbs with compact fluorescent light bulbs. There are some incandescent light bulbs that are better than others so it may take a little time for a person to find the kind that works for them.

Toilets

There is money to be saved when it comes to toilets. A person can get a new water saving toilet, or they can put a sealed container of water inside the toilet tank to displace water in the tank so that less is used. This idea will take a little trial and error however, since the toilet does need a certain amount of water to flush, so the container in the tank cannot displace too much water.

Unplug

Another way that a person can save daily on utilities is by ungluing all unused electrical devices. Appliances such as the toaster and cell phone chargers do not need to be plugged in when they are not in use. By unplugging these appliances a person can save money on their utility bill.

Adjust the thermostat

Adjusting the thermostat can save a person a lot of money. During the cool months a person can try to use the air conditioner less and open the windows in the cool mornings and evenings to cool down the house. In the winter time, the thermostat can be turned down at night and when not one is home to help save money on utilities.

Windows

Getting new, more energy efficient windows that won't let out the heat or the cool air are a great way to save money on utilities. Keeping the windows covered when the sun shines on them can help keep the house cool during the summer. And by keeping the window shades open in the winter to let in any sunlight can help warm the house up.

Maintenance

It is important to keep up on the maintenance schedule for the different appliances like the furnace and the air conditioner to make sure they are working efficiently and properly. The air filters need to be cleaned so that the air will be able to flow with less resistance.

The little things

There are also a lot of little things that a person can do that will help them save daily on their utilities. Using power strips can make it easier to turn of the electricity that is constantly running when appliances are plugged in. Caulking air leaks by doors and windows is a quick and simple way to make a house more energy efficient. Putting lamps and other lights on timers can help ensure that the lights get turned off at the end of the day.

New appliance

A person can also save money on utilities if they have new appliances. If a person is in the market to buy a new refrigerator, oven, dishwasher, or water heater, they should make sure to buy energy efficient appliances. Getting these appliances can definitely help a person save daily on utilities.
