Saving Energy :

1) Plant deciduous shade trees on south and west side of house.

2) Close all doors and vents in rooms not in use.

3) Install whole house fan to draw in cool evening air.

4) Exchange traditional light bulbs for fluorescents.

5) Install storm doors on all exterior doors.

6) Check, and repair if needed, caulking on all door and window frames.

7) Wrap all heating and air ducts with insulation.

Great points.  May I add that you might want to check with your utility company as many have some free programs as well as certain off peak demand discounts.
