Letting Dryer Lint Accumulate. Dryers contribute to thousands of house fires and tens of millions of dollars in damage each year, and many of those dryer fires are attributed to lint buildup. The best way to avoid this is to clean your dryer's lint trap at least once a day, and vacuum the area behind the trap every few months. 2. Slamming Doors. Mom was right to get on your case about slamming doors! Repeatedly slamming your front door can pull the door out of alignment, creating air gaps that can let in cold or hot air from outside. If the weight of your door is an issue, installing a door closer can prevent the need to slam it shut. 3. Over- Or Under-Filling Your Fridge. Both fridges and freezers operate best when they’re about three-quarters full. More than that leads to restricted air flow and inconsistent temperatures, while less than that can reduce energy efficiency. (You can always use jugs of water to fill empty space in your fridge or freezer.)
