Make Your Home More Energy Efficient :: Part 2

Hope you enjoy Part 2 of our series on ways to Make Your Home More Energy Efficient.  Thanks again to Consumer Reports for many of the ideas.

4.  Low-flow Toilet - Toilets gulp a lot of water.  Buy a low-flow toilet and atch your bill drop.  Consumer Reports' Celia Kuperszmid Lehrman says the Koehler Cimarron Comfort Height Toilet (K3609) "did very well in our tests," swallowing just 1.6 gallons per flush.  And with a retail price of $369, it won't break the bank.

5.  Insulation - Heat loss through walls, floors and the roof accounts for about 45% of heat loss (or cooling loss, in summer) in a typical house, says Amanda Lowenberger, researcher for the American Council for an Energy Efficient Economy.  Attics are often the easiest thing to insulate, and rolling out some Owens Corning fiberglass is often a DIY weekend project.

6.  Smart Switches - Outdoor lighting can be pretty - but it's easy to leave the lights on all day.  Photo-sensitive sensors, meanwhile, can get thrown off by the brightness of urban areas.  With Intermatic's "smart switches" installed in the switch plate, you tell the control where you live and what day it is - and you never set it up again.  The mini-computer figures out sunrise and sunset and when to turn the lights on and off.  The cost: $30 and up.

Hope you enjoy these three ideas and will stop back for more!
