How To Save On Electricity Bill
Replacing
incandescent bulbs with compact fluorescent lightbulbs (CFLs) is one of the
quickest, easiest ways to save money—and a place everyone can start. CFLs use
about 75 percent less energy and last up to 10 times longer than incandescent
bulbs. This can save you up to $35 in electric costs over the lifetime of each
bulb. Switching to CFLs in the five most frequently used fixtures in your house
will save about $60 per year, according to Energy Star. Choose CFLs with the
Energy Star label to get the greatest savings. Energy Star products have to
meet energy-efficiency guidelines set by the EPA
and the Department of Energy. When you shop, keep in mind that light fixtures
with dimmers require special CFLs; read the label.
