Money Saving Tip:
Use compact fluorescent light bulbs! I heard that a homes electric bill is almost 50% lighting. So if you use compact fluorescent light bulbs, which save 75% energy verses their incandescent brothers, you can reduce your electric bills by almost 75% of 50% of your electric bill. For simpler math, (.75 x .50) = 37.5% of your bill. Compact fluorescent light bulbs have come down in price so much, that if you buy compact fluorescent light bulbs in bulk, 6 to a pack, the initial investment is very low. Also, the return is almost instant, from the time you convert your home over to compact fluorescent light bulbs, you will instantly start reducing your electric bill. Now if you don't have the money to convert your whole home over, you can start by buying one pack of compact fluorescent light bulbs. You can convert over some of your home's lighting, and start getting a return on your investment. Each month you can convert more of your incandescent lights over to compact fluorescent light bulbs.

Some tips about buying compact fluorescent light bulbs:

1. Pickup compatible watt-ages. If you use a 60w incandescent bulb, then buy a compact fluorescent light bulb that sheds as much light at a 60w bulb. This should be about 15 watts(25% of the incandescent bulb).

2. Buy only compact fluorescent light bulbs from name brand manufactures. The quality and longevity are worth the few cents more.

3. Understand the first few times the compact fluorescent light bulbs lights, it does not come to full light output. It might be a few on-off cycles to get the compact fluorescent light bulbs running at 100%


So remember save money on electric bills, use compact fluorescent light bulbs!
