Many homeowners are oblivious to the fact that lighting in homes can account for 10-20% of the total monthly energy bill and even more-so to how easy it is to change such lighting and save mega bucks! The government will soon regulate the energy-efficiency of light bulbs, making all products on the market more-efficient, but you don't have to wait for the new regulations - start saving on your own now! You can save 75% per bulb by switching standard incandescent bulbs to compact fluorescent (CFL) ones. CFL's last longer and consume less energy and can save $30 in its operating lifetime. If you choose not to switch to CFLs, make your current incandescent bulbs cheaper for you by lowering the wattage percentage by 15%. Typically, you won't notice a difference in the the brightness of a lower-watt bulb but you will notice the pennies adding up in your wallet. Also, changing your bulbs isn't the only option to save energy with your lighting. Look into a motion-sensor to put on lights where sometimes they aren't always turned off, or door-jam switches that will flick on a light when the door is opened. This is great for pantries and closets, since once we close the door, we rarely remember we've left the light on. Remember, natural light is often under rated and by simply cleaning your windows, you can function using the earth's natural sunlight rather than having to pay large sumps of money to create such energy.
