I did the same with the bulbs - they all started burning out after less than a year??? Then I threw them away, and went back to my regular bulbs, which I like much better. I recently watched a special on TV about the mercury in the fluorescent bulbs and I had no idea that they should be disposed of as hazard material.

So instead... I started turning off my computers, TV's and all the other electrical that we don't use that often.

Good for you though!

only $20 our bill went down about $35

Always look for ways to save but fluorescent lighting would give me a constant headache. So that won't work. The hot water heater issue, humm, don't think we use so much that it makes that much of a difference for us. But you have good ideas for some folks. All the best.

I am sold, I am going fluorescent!  I love to save on my bills and this is something that you can always share with your clients, let them know how much you saved.

Thank You

Hey, I duck taped my windows shut...YOU KNOW, WHEN ALL ELSE FAILS.... and my electric bill went from $235.00 a month to $135.00 in the summer and around $85.00 in the winter, yes here in Florida...

We changed out most of our light bulbs recently to florescent. Its an easy way to start going green.
