Go Green and Energy Efficient
Tricks to be more energy efficient
Energy efficiency and saving money go hand in hand. There are many ways to save, from buying energy efficient appliances, heating and air conditioning, new windows, right down to lighting.
Dusk to dawn photo cells save money by not allowing the light to come on or stay on during the day. Motion sensor lights will only turn on when someone enters the detection area in the room and will turn off automatically when everyone leaves.
With the government mandating that incandescent bulbs can no longer be produced, you will have to make the choice between replacing them with fluorescent bulbs or LED bulbs, which only use a fraction of the power compared to a standard bulb. Fluorescent bulbs only use about 13 Watts compared to 60 Watts from a standard bulb, and cost nearly 4 times less per year to run. Plus, they last up to 7 times longer! The newest technology is LED (Light-Emitting Diode) lighting. LED's are cool to the touch and use a fraction of the power of regular lights (9 to 11 Watts of power for 60 Watts), while also costing up to ten times less then standard bulbs. With LED lights, you will rarely have to change a light bulb as these can last up to twenty years.
Using a dimmer with standard bulbs can also save electricity by dimming. A dimmer also makes the bulbs last longer. Dimming the light 20% will make the bulb last 50% to 60% longer. All of these methods will save money.
Programmable thermostats can save a lot in heat and A/C costs. Ceiling fans can reduce cooling costs in the summer and heating costs in the winter. Attic fans can help with cooling costs in the summer and help lengthen the life of roof shingles. Small things can add up to big savings.
