How To Save Electricity?

How much could I save on my electricity bill if I switch all my light bulbs to cfl energy efficient light bulb?

  • I have eleven lights of those eleven i replaced nine of them with cfl energy efficient light bulbs. So how much would that save me on my electricity bill?

  • Answer:

    A lot depends on what you are using now and what you replace it with. If you are using 60 watt bulbs now, most people replace that with 15 watt CFLs. Some people will even replace them with 20 watt CFLs. Likewise, 100watt bulbs are generally replaced with 23-25 watt CFLs. Along with what size you are using, how often you are using and where are major factors. Bathrooms and kitchen lights are on a lot more than bedroom and basement lights. On average, if you replaced 10 - 60 watt bulbs with CFLs, you would save about $105.00 the first year. The second year it would be closer to $150.00 and every year after that. More dramatically, if you replaced 10 - 100 watt bulbs, you would save over $170.00 dollars the first year and over $200.00 every year after that. So basically the more you replace the more you will save.

Not as mush as switching to LED light bulbs, you should look into them as well.

Lighting, back when it was almost all incandescent, accounted for, on average, 7% of electricity bills. The savings will not be much. Conversely, the average family spends around 500 on food per month, and with a triple stack garden system you could feed that same family for only 10 bucks of electricity and around 15 of supplies. That is a BIG *** savings.
