Energy Saving Tips:
FACT:
Dimming the lights Saves electricity Bulbs last
10% 10% 3 years
25% 20% 6 years
35% 28% 10 years
FACT:
The energy used in the average home can be responsible for
more than twice the greenhouse gas emission of the average car.
When you use less energy at home, you reduce greenhouse
gas emissions from power plants and help protect our
environment from the risks of global climate changes
The smallest thing can add up to a real difference.
We encourage you to change the light fixtures or bulbs that
you use most with Energy Star qualified models.
If every American home replaced their five most frequently
used light fixtures or bulbs in them with Energy Star, we
would save close to $8 billion each year in energy costs, and
together we would prevent the greenhouse gases
equivalent to the emissions from nearly ten million cars.

comfortable and the air conditioner won’t have to work as hard,
which will save energy.
