25% of your energy bill and usage is probably attributable to your water heater.
Lower this by turning the temperature on your water heater down! Almost all homes have it turned up far too high. Try just adjusting it by one notch at a time, until you find a balance of having enough hot water, but not more than you need. Our biggest appliance cost us the most money and waste the most energy, so by making adjustments to them you save the most for the least effort. By turning your water heater down just 10 degrees you will probably save 3-5% off of your energy bill, plus you are saving the environment!
When you go on vacation, turn the water heater to the minimum.
