Energy can be used for cooking and heating up water. It can be used for lighting and electrical appliances as well, such as televisions, fans etc. In some ways, anything involving the switching on of a switch can be said to use energy.
Electrical energy is used in most home appliances. However, you can't say it is used any more than kinetic energy, which you and all other objects use to move. Also, glucose in your body is chemical energy, which is also used. Potential energy would be the most used, if it counts, because every object that is not on the floor contains potential energy (it can fall and therefore the potential energy can be transferred into kinetic energy). Sound and light and thermal energy is also used a lot at home.
Thermal energy, heat, is used in all sorts of ways. We use it to keep warm (by heating structures and vehicles), prepare food (both at home and commercially), and to make zillions of products (manufacturing and industrial applications). We can convert thermal energy into electrical energy, too. Thermal energy from the sun supports life on this planet. We've used that for as long as a man has been on earth. There just isn't a way to count all the applications. Use the link below to the Wikipedia post on heat to read more.
Natural gas provides the largest percentage of all energy used in California.
energy can neither be created nor destroyed, only transformed into other kinds of energy.
Hydro-electric energy can be created in many ways, but all forms of energy require the spinning of a turbine to generate electricity.
Geothermal Energy means 'Energy from the earth's heat'. It can be converted into electricity in three ways. Using flash, binary and dry steam power plants. They all create energy but in different ways. Steam pushes a turbine, a turbine generates a generator and the generator creates electricity. Geothermal Energy can also be used as air conditioners. The provide heat and cooling for your home.

To save energy, unplug all of your devices when not in use. This phantom energy accounts for much energy used throughout the year and adds up. Turn off all lights when not in use, and be smart about using the heat, if electric.
There are tons of ways to go. There are appliances you can change. You can google all sorts depending on what type of efficiency you are looking to change to. The web site below lists some appliances that are more energy efficient for your home.
State two ways in which the energy released in respiration is used in all animals?Respiration and Movement are two examples of this. I see this is an AQA GCE question... it is what I am doing!

turning all appliances to stand by when not in use
One way that most homeowners are unaware of is to install quality replacement windows in your home. Also, Turn off un- needed lights. Also bye energy efishent light bulbs. All these things will help you to save energy!
Photovoltaic cells are used to provide the energy for all of these except
