Before investing in the new florescent bulbs (CFL)  for your home, please  consider simply installing dimmer switches for your existing incandescent bulbs. 

Our light bulbs have lasted over 15 years!

 You will have the right amount of light when you need it and softer light if you want it.  

We have  (6) six incandescent bulbs in the light fixtures in our master bath which have lasted 15 years until we  updated  simply because we wanted  new fixtures, but we continued to use the same light bulbs.  The dimmer gives the bulb a gradual input of electricity rather than a sudden jolt  - all of your bulbs will last much longer reducing waste of the bulbs and energy.  

The new florescent bulbs contain mercury and must be recycled never put in the trash where the mercury will find it’s way into our water supply.

 The grandchildren will also thank us for not polluting the land fills  with mercury .

With Summer just around the corner take a look at the outside air conditioner unit to be sure it is free of leaves and other debris that may have piled up during the winter

Prune back any foliage that may be blocking the air flow.

Check the floor and surrounding area of the inside unit after about 2 hours of using the air conditioner for the first time; look for water that may not be draining properly.

Change the inside filter as often as recommended by the manufacturer of your particular brand unit. Stay cool!
