Did you know that CFL light bulbs are 75% more energy efficient and last 10 times longer than incandescent bulbs?
Our home has electric baseboard heating, so we are always looking for ways to improve our energy efficiency in our home.
While light bulbs aren’t directly related to our baseboard heating, they do affect our monthly utility bill. Since our goal was to lower that as much as possible, we took every opportunity we could to get FREE or cheap CFL bulbs and replaced our normal incandescent bulbs. (Watch for deals and freebies on CFL bulbs around Earth Day in April. There are often great rebates available too.)
We also did a few other things to lower our utility bill and improve our homes energy efficiency, which I will be telling you about over the next few weeks. See more posts under the Ways to Save and Home category.
