Quick Tip of the Month

Next time a light bulb burns out in your home, replace it with a “swirl” or “compact florescent” bulb. They are as bright or brighter than regular bulbs, but 1 bulb is guaranteed to last 5 years. You can pick up a 3-pack at Wal Mart for $7.58.

Not only will you save money buying less bulbs over time (by an 8:1 ratio), a “swirl” replacement for a 60 watt bulb only uses 13 watts. So GE says you will also save $38 in energy costs over the life of the bulb.
