Update Your Light Bulbs to Save Energy

It may not seem like much, but the types of light bulbs that you use in your home have a significant impact on the amount of energy that your home consumes. Converting your house to new, energy efficient light bulbs is one of the easiest ways to reduce your monthly power bill. Compact Fluorescent Lights or CFL, have completely revolutionized the way that we approach energy efficient lighting.

The benefits of energy efficient lighting include:

• Long Lasting: Compared to traditional light bulbs, energy efficient light bulbs have a much longer lifespan when compared to incandescent bulbs.
• Higher Efficiency: CFL lighting uses on average 104 kilowatts per hour, compared to 480 from incandescent bulbs.
• Cost Effective: When you examine the longer lifespan and increased efficiency, the somewhat higher cost of CFL bulbs is easily overcome by the savings accrued simply by switching to CFL.

It is important to implement as many energy efficient tools in your home as possible. Energy Star appliances are one of the best ways to reduce the costs of your monthly energy bill and ensure that you are creating the most efficient and green home as possible.
