Also i am not heating the downstairs , the heaters down there are on the freeze stand by setting or right next to the off click on the wall thermostats. I have conserved a lot of energy just by paying attention to the kill a watt meter and doing adjustments. My TV now uses around 50 watts instead of 150 watts just by turning the back lighting down in the TV's menu and turning the brightness up (it uses no wattage to turn the brightness up , oddly enough) Unplugged
a UPS power back up for the computer that was drawing 30 watts 24-7 for years.
Turned the water heater Way down , insulated my fridge extensively, the list goes on.
Last year I put white Styrofoam sheet from a large package over unused north facing window , its accumulative conserving really.
