My electric bill is about [MONTHLY BILL, e.g. $230 a month], highest in [PEAK MONTHS, e.g. winter]. Home: [HOME DETAILS, e.g. 2-bed apartment, electric heat]. How we use power: [DAILY HABITS, e.g. nightly space heater, 6 laundry loads a week]. My rate plan, if it's on the bill: [RATE PLAN, e.g. time-of-use].

Give me the 10 changes most likely to lower my bill, ranked by estimated monthly savings for my situation, not generic tips. Mark each as free, cheap (under $50) or a bigger investment. Include questions I should ask my utility about cheaper plans or programs. Show your rough math and say which numbers are estimates.
