Signing up is free. All I had to do was enter a little bit of information about where I live, the type of house I live in, and some information off of my power bill. I was a little disappointed that they didn't have "mobile home" as a selection, because I think it would have made a difference in the recommendations they made for me. The picture below is a shot of what they suggested I do to make my home more energy efficient.

I pick my battles, and let him win this one. But, maybe if I show him the money we can save on our power bill, he might have a change of heart.
I wish they had asked about home appliances, because they recommend that we buy an energy efficient one when we replace our current one. Our current one is less than 5 years old, and it is energy efficient. So is our dishwasher. They also recommended we use those funky light bulbs, and we already do. Maybe I just didn't go far enough with the evaluation?
Either way, they made many useful suggestions that I will take into consideration as I try to reduce our home energy consumption. You can head over to the site and find out what you can do to make your home more energy efficient too. Trust me when I say it only took a few minutes, and now I have a better idea of what my family needs to do.
And I am going to make sure we do it.
