Going Green- Lighting

Consider your lighting when planning to make “going green” changes in your home. This can be a small and inexpensive project to work on, that will only take a few hours. Changing your lighting is an easy project and the savings should show up in your next electric bill.

Replace incandescent light bulbs with CFL bulbs. CFL bulbs use approximately one fifth to one third less power and have a longer rated life. CFL are more costly initially, but save over five times its purchase price in electricity costs over the bulb’s lifetime. LED bulbs are also another green alternative. They produce less heat and are durable and energy efficient.
