Energy Efficient Homes How can I make a home more energy efficient?

Question by : How can I make a home more energy efficient?
We are about to buy a large two story home built in 1900. The furnace is brand new so it is already energy efficient. All new windows as well. What other things can I do save some money?

Best answer:

Answer by Tresa
Front loading washing machine.
European dishwasher.
Flow restrictors on your shower heads.
If you have 1 or 2 showers in the house, a gas fired tankless water heater or if you live in a colder climate an indirect water heater fed by your boiler. (in case of someone reading this that doesn’t have a furnace)
A ridge vent or attic fan on your roof, soffit vents if you have soffits.
Compact fluorescent light bulbs.
Insulation on your water heater pipes and in your attic.
Saving money on energy costs a lot short term.
