By far the most important thing to remember is: It is far easier to save
energy than to generate it and pay for it. Below are just a few ideas. We will
be adding to this list over time. If you would like to receive all of our tips
please send your request to:
sales@nebraskasolarsolutions.com Current electrical rates in Nebraska run from .075 to .08 per kilowatt (1000 watts) hour. Places in California are running between .18 and .23 per kilowatt. Changing your regular incandescent light bulbs to compact fluorescent will save 75% on your lighting bill. For instance a 23 watt compact fluorescent is the equivalent of a 100 watt incandescent light bulb. A 100 watt incandescent that is on for 10 hours uses 1 kilowatt of electricity, the 23 watt compact fluorescent that is on for 10 hours only uses 230 watts of electricity. Compact fluorescents also last up to 10 times longer. For special situations L.E.D. (Light Emitting Diode) is a super energy saver. They are great for spotlighting/accenting and reading lamps. A L.E.D. with 18 lamps provides plenty of light to read by and uses ONLY .6 watts, yes .6watts. 10 hours of use would only use 6 watts of electricity. It would take almost 7 days (167hours) for this L.E.D. to use the same energy as a single 100 watt incandescent bulb uses in 1 hour. New L.E.D.s are being engineered to diffuse light the same as incandescent and compact fluorescents. Just think of the energy savings! Insulation is important, however a great deal of heat gain in the summer and
loss in the winter is radiant. Installing radiant foil insulation keeps the heat
out in the summer and in, in the winter. Installing radiant foil insulation on
your attic rafters can pay for itself in 2-3 years. |
