Secret Savings: Slashing Energy Costs

Unplug your appliances
Figure out which of your appliances are energy hogs. A kilowatt meter will tell you how much energy each appliance uses. TVs, computers, cell phones can still draw energy even when it's turned off costing households some $100 a year.

Cut Incandescent Dependency
Replace incandescent light bulbs with compact fluorescent bulbs. Fluorescent lighting can save you between $50 and $150 dollars a year.

Slash Water bills
Consider using a low-flow faucet and/or shower head. Kohler makes one that helps you use 30% less water and saves on heating the water

Consider "Low E" Glass Windows
"Low E" windows or "low admittance" windows help stop the loss of heat from your home
