Greening your home: Part 2 of 5

 

1. Use compact fluorescent light bulbs with the ENERGY STAR® label instead of incandescent bulbs.

 

2. CFLs use 75 percent less energy and lasts about 10 times longer than an incandescent bulb.

 

3. CFLs generate 70 percent less heat than standard incandescent lighting.

 

“If every American home replaced just one light bulb or fixture with an ENERGY STAR qualified product, we  preserve enough energy each year to light more than three million homes, save more than $600 Million in energy cost, and prevent greenhouse gas emission equivalent to those produced by more than 800,000 cars!”

 

<strong>Feel free to take a few steps in the right direction by getting quotes from our green contractors for solar or wind energy services, energy efficiency audits, or green remodeling projects by going to our homepage and doing a quick search with your zipcode (currently supporting DC, MD, VA only).</strong>
