Turn On New Lightbulbs

Answer 1

Saving money does not have to involve reducing your quality of life. One of the quickest ways to save money is switching the light bulbs in your house from incandescent bulbs to compact fluorescent bulbs. Studies have shown that switching to compact fluorescent bulbs can save $35 per bulb over the 10 year life of the bulb. Even discounting for the higher expense of the fluorescent bulb, replacing 20 bulbs in a house can save a consumer $500. An additional bonus to using fluourescent bulbs is that they generate less heat than an incandescent bulb, which will also help lower the cost of cooling a home in the summer.
