  Have you ever wondered if your ventilation system or water pipes are properly functioning? If you aren't wondering, it's a good idea to start.

  Smart home sensors will monitor systems like water usage, smoke detection, and air quality. If a system isn't functioning properly, it's most likely sucking more energy than it would normally need. Oh, and these will help keep you and your family safer in your home, which is a big bonus!

• LED Lights

  It may be just a light bulb, but the cost can really add up! Did you know that you could save up to $10 a month or more, just by changing out the bulbs in your house? That adds up to a free Starbucks every month!

  LED bulbs use less wattage than CFL or incandescent light bulbs, plus they last longer. The average total energy consumption for lighting is 25% - yikes! Use this cool savings calculator tool to figure out just how much your home could save by switching.

• Low-Flow Shower Heads

  Those long showers at the end of the day might be relaxing, but they could also be costing you money. The price of relaxation doesn't have to hurt so badly, though. Replacing your existing showerheads with low-flow showerheads can actually knock off a nice chunk of that energy bill. This couple tested this theory and saved about 100 bucks over the course of a year in their electricity bills. That's totally motivating!

• Smart Power Strips 

  When you need your smart home device, Fitbit charger, phone charger, and coffee maker all plugged in, you grab a power strip. But traditional power strips are tricky little buggers because they will often consume electricity even when you aren't using them. The nerve of these things!

  Luckily, smart power strips cut the power connected to your devices in standby mode. Brilliant, right? That can save you up to 10% on your energy consumption! There are also smart charging stations that will shut off when a device is fully charged.

• High-Efficiency Appliances
