focus_topnav_logoEach week we provide our readers with an energy savings tip with the goal of promoting ways consumers can reduce their utility bills.  This week we are recommending you visit the Focus on Energy website and read their fact sheet on how to save energy this summer and reduce your utility bill in the process.

To give you a sample of the fact sheet, here is an easy energy saver that you should consider adding to your to-do list today:

Ninety percent of the energy used by an incandescent bulb makes heat.  ENERGY STAR qualified compact fluorescent light bulbs, (CFLs) produce a fraction of the heat and use 75 percent less energy, while lasting up to 10 times longer.  By replacing the five light bulbs you use most with ENERGY STAR qualified CFLs, homeowners can save at least $60 per year.
