Energy Savings
by Ben P
It is always time to start thinking about saving energy, but even more so since winter is here.
The Home Energy Diet shows how to calculate how much energy you are using and how to reduce it. One of the easiest things to change is to use a Compact fluorescent lamp(CFL) they last longer, use less electricity for the same amount of light. The Incandescent light bulb uses technology that is over 100 years old and produces more heat than light. A 23W CFL produces the same light as 100W incandescent light bulb. A recent sighting of a 23W CFL at a local big box store was about $8.00. At ebay I bought 15 CFL bulbs and the total with shipping came to under $2.00 each. At that price why not do the whole house.
