Why switch from incandescent bulbs to compact fluorescent light (CFL) bulbs?

• CFLs use 75% less electricity than an incandescent bulb to produce the same amount of light
• CFLs last up to 10 times longer than an incandescent bulb
• CFLs produce 75% less heat than an incandescent bulb - therefore reduces cooling costs
• CFLs save $30 or more in electricity costs over the lifetime of the bulb
• Lighting can account for 20% of your total household electricity
• In the US, Incandescent lights will begin being phased out in 2012

In an average home, 75% of the electricity utilized for electronics and appliances (computers, televisions, microwaves, DVD players) is consumed while they are turned off.   Depending upon the brand selected, the smart power strip will either automatically stop the draw of energy for all peripheral devices when it has detected that the primary device has gone into sleep or standby mode or, on some models - when the primary device is turned off. It also has a feature that allows you to plug additional devices into specific outlets that require power at all times (alarm clock, DVR, cordless phone/answering machines).   Power surge, line noise filtering and telephone jack protection is also incorporated into the smart power strips.

Start today by reducing your "phantom" electricity costs by purchasing a smart power strip and your electric utility will give you:

The highly efficient motors spin clothes two to three times faster to extract more water. (Less water in the clothes also results in less energy drying them in the dryer).   Must have a ELECTRIC water heater to qualify.   Replacement washer must be a CEE Tier 2 or Tier 3, click here to see if it qualifies.
