According to the 1997 Residential Energy Consumption Survey, lighting and appliances (refrigerators, washers, dryers, dishwashers, and stoves) used 27% of all energy used in residences and accounted for more than 45% of energy costs. These numbers do not include the cost of water and the cost to heat water, resulting in savings potential that is even higher than these numbers reflect.
Most of us learn to conserve water and weatherstrip our windows, but we often forget to think about other practical ways to reduce our energy consumption. Compact florescent light bulbs and energy efficient appliances help reduce unwanted summer heat as well as cost less to operate. Reuse the old lamp...just change the bulb!
