Save Energy at Home

Homes are a place where a lot of energy is wasted. Electric appliances are usually big consumers of electricity, and sadly, they do so even when they are not in use (stand-by mode). One way to battle this is using more efficient appliances and bulbs, such as compact fluorescent light bulbs.

Compact fluorescent light bulbs (or CFLs) are a smaller version of the long fluorescent lights, and they can be screwed in like any regular light bulb. Their big advantages are energy consumption and energy efficiency: they need only 13 watts to produce as much light as a 75-watt incandescent light bulb. That's a big saving.

I will expand on this subject later, but right now just remember that CFLs can make a huge difference in your electricity bill. A simple calculation I made showed that changing 30 light bulbs to CFLs can save about $1500 per year, definitely not something to ignore.

Save on!
