Light Bulbs

The traditional (incandescent) light bulb is on its way out due to the emergence of new, efficient technologies that save energy and money without compromising output or ambience. Compact Fluorescent Light Bulbs (CFLs) are currently the most widely adopted replacements for incandescent bulbs. CFLs produce the same amount of light, but consume 75% less energy, produce 75% less heat, and last up to 10 times longer than an incandescent bulb. That equates to savings of about $30 over a bulb's lifetime.

Fixtures & Controls

Fixtures have traditionally been overlooked as a means to reduce electricity bills. However, new technologies have been developed that make the benefits overwhelmingly clear. By simply replacing your current light fixture with an ENERGY STAR certified model, you will distribute light more evenly and efficiently, thereby reducing the amount of energy needed to light the same area by as much as 75%. They’re easy to install and available in hundreds of styles.

Ceiling Fans

Ceiling fans are quickly becoming a viable energy management solution as heating and cooling costs increase. New energy-efficient models are the perfect solution for evenly distributing both warm and cool air in every season while using less energy than traditional ceiling fans. Today's fans are attractive, quiet, and easy to install.

Outdoor Lighting

Some of the most cutting-edge technologies of the last decade, such as solar energy and motion activated sensors, are now being incorporated into outdoor residential lighting solutions at prices that result in real energy and electricity savings. Solar path lighting and outdoor flood lighting are now accessible to any homeowner who wants to safe-guard or accentuate the outside of their home without the energy or cost limitations of the past.

OVERVIEW

New-age lighting has been generating a lot of hype in the last several years, and for good reason! Lighting comprises between 10 and 20% of the average American home’s electricity bill. While most consumers have been told to “switch their bulbs” to reduce their bills, the landscape for energy-efficient light bulbs can often be confusing and overwhelming. With some basic information, however, switching bulbs is one of the simplest and most cost effective ways to lower your energy bills.
