2. Energy Efficient Light Bulb• Fluorescent Lights

• Incandescent light bulbs consume a lot of energy and are costly• If you have at least four, 100-watt incandescent bulbs that burn

four or more hours a day in your home, the Alliance To Save Energy recommends replacing them with 23-watt fluorescent bulbs.

• Compact fluorescent bulbs use only a quarter of the energy of typical light bulbs, last 10 times longer and lower utility bills.

• Replacing just four incandescent bulbs with fluorescent light bulbs will save about 454 kilowatt hours of electricity, a savings of $82 over three years.

4. Insulation• Insulate to sustain temperature more efficiently

• Heating and cooling account for 50 to 70% of the energy used in the average American home.

• Inadequate insulation and air leakage are leading causes of energy waste in most homes. Insulation:a. Saves money and our nation's limited energy resources

b. Makes your house more comfortable by helping to maintain a uniform temperature throughout the house

c. Makes walls, ceilings, and floors warmer in the winter and cooler in the summer.
