An audit you'll love - PART 2


Assess your lighting

Lighting makes up about 10 percent of your electricity costs.
  • Examine the wattage of your light bulbs. If your lamps are using 100-watt or larger bulbs, consider a 60- or 75-watt replacement.
  • Install compact fluorescent bulbs in areas where lights are left on for hours at a time.
  • Move lamps away from your thermostat. The heat produced by traditional light bulbs can be sensed and may force your air conditioner to work harder.
