Condo: Lighting

[bolson]

What's the biggest thing I can do to make my household more energy
efficient? Insulate it. Well, that's expensive and hard (but totally on the
to-do list for next season if not this).So, what's the next big thing that
we all get reminded to do? Change lightbulbs. It's easy and cheapish and
relatively effective for that amount of work. So, I took stock and I have
over 40 lightbulbs I could replace. Half of those have a
smaller-than-standard socket as part of some decorative fixture in the
ceiling fan. Another quarter are much shorter than common bulbs. Between
these constraints my choice in CFL replacements will be somewhat limited,
but I'm pretty sure I've seen the right kinds of things out there.

It's actually very easy and fast (but expensive) to replace all your windows with hardcore windows like the Newpro triple-pane ones. They come and take measurements, and then later they come and Just Do It. It's amazing how much warmer a room can become when the windows are suddenly good!
