Malach the greenie
Many of you know Malach began in April gradually replacing all his incandescent bulbs with energy savers in his home. At this point 98% of the bulbs are done (the one remains are old fixtures and the bulbs don't fit). So, here is where we are at (billing dates for 2006/2007):
April: 712 KWZ (2006) 640 KWZ (2007). This was with only about 50% of the bulbs replaced by the end of the month. In addition spring was very mild so the heat was not on at all in 2007 (Forced air, uses Electricity).
May: 690 KWZ (2006) 664 KWZ (2007). By the end of the month of May 98% of the bulbs were replaced
June: 710 KWZ (2006) 715 KWZ (2007). Strange? Not really, Early Summer was very hot this year, and I had the Central Air on for about a week and ceiling fans on most of the month. Last year, it was pretty mild.
July: 736 KWZ (2006) 658 KWZ (2007)
So comparing the two quarters from 2006 and 2007, I have a savings of 171 KWZ, which comes out to $19.99503 is savings. Extrapolate that to a year? $59.98509 over the average 5 lifespan of the bulbs? $299.925445. Not bad. I will keep you updated as I continue with this experiment.
By the way, Wal-Mart sells these bulbs, both the spiral and globe in three packs from $7 to $10 depending on the size and style.
I am Malach and Al Gore had nothing on me.

Yes, you can be helpful, but try to spice it up a little. It was like reading the side of a cereal box.
