Today's Energy Insight
By now you have probably heard that compact fluorescent bulbs (CFLs) use
less energy and last longer than incandescent bulbs but here is something else
to consider...
Standard
incandescent bulbs create more heat than light, up to 90% of the energy these
bulbs consume is then given off as heat. When running A/C, incandescent bulbs are
actually working against you. If you switch to CFLs your
cooling costs will go down along with your lighting costs. And that is your energy insight on this hot summer day!
