Saving Energy Technology Helps To Reduce Your Energy Bills
By Gerard J Howson
The Daily Green (www.thedailygreen.com)
is an award-winning blog that covers a variety of topics,
from gardening, cooking, food safety and nutrition to
eco-friendly gadgets, money saving tips, chemical-free
products and energy conservation.
Since 2007, this neat little website has been providing
consumers with well-researched, unbiased articles. Recently,
they wrote an interesting piece on "10 Hot Home
Products That Save Money." Here are a few of the
latest saving energy technology devices and products
they recommend for homes.
Energy saving lights are one of the most popular products
for saving on energy consumption at home. The Sylvania
LED Swivel Light ($6.49) can be mounted to nearly any
surface using hooks, loop holes, Velcro or a magnet.
Lasts Up To 100,000 hours
These long-lasting, battery-operated lights can be
stuck in or under kitchen cabinets, in pantries or in
closets, where they’re expected to last 80,000 to 100,000
hours. Due to the easy installation, consumers are using
the light for garages, sheds, cars, RVs, boats and tents.
There is also a Sylvania LED dimming light ($8.98)
that works much the same way but offers different settings
for people who want some control over how much light
they’re getting.
Improving Your Security With Solar Powered Lights
If safety is a concern around your home, then solar
powered motion sensor lights ($44.04) make the perfect
energy-saving solution, which store energy all day long
to light your house by night. Visit www.smarthome.com
for more information on these energy efficient lighting
products.
One way people are using saving energy technology and
holding a review of their options is with their water
heating. The less hot water you use, the less energy
you use and the less money you spend. Of course, it
would be difficult to just take five minute showers
for the rest of your life or become resigned to taking
lukewarm, low-pressure showers from now on.
Uses Less Water Than Traditional Showers
Increasing energy efficiency at home doesn’t have to
be painful or even noticeable. For $25.90, consumers
can buy the Oxygenics "BodySpa SkinCare" showerhead,
which uses 30-70% less water than traditional showers.
Users say you’d never know it by the five-star-resort
style wash they get using this power save product.
The system offers settings ranging from soft to stimulating
and claims to provide "even, superior flow for
a clean-rinsing, invigorating shower experience."

Lower Your Energy Bills With Solar Powered Attic Fans
Solar-powered attic fans like the SunRise1050 are increasing
in popularity as a great way with saving energy technology
systems. Consumers report seeing a 30% drop off their
energy bills, not to mention easier maintenance for
their attics.
Traditional attics are susceptible to water damage
during heavy rains and intense summer heats reaching
up to 160 degrees Fahrenheit. Additionally, the daily
acts of showering and cooking cause water vapors to
migrate to the attic, where it may become mold, mildew,
fungus and rot.
However, the SunRise attic fan prevents all these common
problems by operating automatically when the attic reaches
65 to 80 degrees. This home energy saving device can
be purchased at www.greenhome.com.

Little Known Energy Efficient Home Devices Facts.....
One of the biggest phrases you hear today about the
environment and energy is to "go green." But
what does it really mean? It means switching to energy
efficient home devices. It means turning to alternative
sources of renewable energy such as the sun or the wind.
Each little thing you can do to reduce your carbon
footprint is a step towards a healthier Earth. Plus
the benefit to your pocket book cannot be overlooked.
It may seem confusing at first but with the right information
you can do it.
