Update on CFL Bulbs

I just wanted to make a quick update regarding my CFL Bulb post.  Almost two months ago we started changing our regular bulbs out for CFL bulbs to try to save electricity and therefore saving money on our electricity bill.  While there may be other factors affecting the decrease in our electric bill, I’m quite pleased with the results.

In November our electric bill was $59.31.  This probably seems low to some of you, but for us, this is rather high for the winter months.  Our last bill decreased to $42.75 and our current bill was the biggest shock of all – $32.62!  There aren’t any other significant changes we’ve made to our electricity habits, so I will contribute the majority of the $27 decrease to our use of the CFL bulbs.

Not bad for a $6 investment!
