I know it is hot as blue blazes out there!
This time of year I am always looking for new ways to stay cool and and save money at the same time.
Let’s face it. Sometimes it is worth the extra money just to stay cool. Many times these products and techniques may cost a little right now, but will save you more money in the long run.
The state of Texas has provided a single page PDF file that gives a lion’s share of “Stay Cool” tips and also givs a link to a nifty little CFL calculator. What is CFL, your ask? Well, I’ll tell you.
CFLs are compact fluorescent bulbs. Even if you haven’t used them before, I’m sure you have seen them in the stores. They look like a cross between an accordian and a snake. No, really, they look a little strange but CFLs use 75 percent less electricity and produce 90% less heat.
So you see, if you use CFL bulbs you will stay cooler and save money. Shazam!!!
This is just one of almost 20 tips. This is well worth a read. Here is the link: http://www.texasishot.org/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/quicktips.pdf
