The first thing I did was to get an energy audit. Check with your gas or electrical company to see if they offer anything like this.
They came out and looked at my windows, doors, appliances, water heater, pipes, faucets and insulation levels among other things. They asked about our habits like how many showers a day do we take, and how many loads of dishes or laundry do we do each week. Then they review the last 12 months of our usage and then make recommendations on what and how to improve in certain areas.
I now have a very specific list to start working with on my home. Plus a list of rebates and how to get them if I choose to implement certain items in my home.
This is a great place to start because they will give you specific solutions and ideas on how to improve your own space and not someone elses space who may have different factors to consider.
So if you're looking for your own solutions, definately start with a home energy audit.
