Energy Saving Lighting Product Categories

Today lights are not just used to brighten a dark room. By adjusting lights we can meet the lighting specifications and requirements of the different people in the house. Dimmers can help you create the perfect ambiance. They come in a wide range of models and in addition to controlling lighting levels in the home, dimmers also conserve energy.
Traditional light bulbs waste a lot of energy by turning it into heat. Energy efficient bulbs offer great opportunities for savings. For instance, if every household replaced its next light bulb with an energy efficient bulb the country would save more than 8 billion kWh hours of energy. This really is the brightest place to buy energy saving light bulbs on-line.
Advances in technology make it easier for us to save energy. Motion Sensors automatically turn lights ON when you enter a room and OFF when you leave. In addition to the convenience of hands-free switching, motion sensors ensure that lights are not left ON unnecessarily, thereby saving energy.
Timer Switches offer timed ON/OFF control of energy-consuming loads like outdoor lighting, hot tubs and attic fans. Our range of timer switches provides quiet, accurate electronic timing for control of lighting and motor loads within the home, and can reduce energy costs. Just set the timer and go – you’ll never leave those lights on again.
The sun is the source of all energy on earth. Using lights powered by solar energy in your home or garden is a good energy saving option by making use of renewable energy with little or no emission of pollutants. Get your own solar lighting right now, right here. At ChangeForGreen, we have many excellent solar lighting options.

Power Efficiency Product Categories

The more energy-efficient an appliance is, the less it costs to run. You can lower your utility bill and help protect the environment with energy efficient appliances. By using energy-efficient products, the average household can save up to $400 per year on utility bills.
Real-time power consumption monitoring is the first step in saving energy. Connect your appliances to a power monitoring device and assess how efficient they are. You can figure out your electrical expenses, regulate them and thereby save energy.
A power strip is a strip of sockets that attaches to the end of a flexible cable and allows multiple devices to be plugged in. With a few simple actions, we can set up our own homes or offices to work efficiently, save energy, and reduce operating costs. The power is at your fingertips. Browse through our collection of Power Strips to save energy.
Plug-in timers can be used to turn equipment off overnight and on weekends, saving energy and money used while running equipment unnecessarily. Plug-in timers are the ideal way to automate lights or appliances. Our range of Plug-in Timers save you energy and cost by automatic control of various appliances from indoor lighting to heavy duty appliances.
Electricity bills seem to increase each year with the ever rising cost of oil and natural gas. A standard water heater keeps gallons of water heated all the time contributing to higher utility bills. Installing a water-heater timer, enables you to set specific ON and OFF times for water-heater operation thereby saving on energy and your electric bills. Expect to see a 5-12 percent reduction in your hot water heater’s energy costs.
During the heating season, lowering your thermostat by ten degrees for eight hours at night can reduce your energy costs by as much as seven percent, with no sacrifice in comfort. A programmable thermostat will ensure that your heating/cooling system runs less often during the day when the house is unoccupied, and less at night after everyone has gone to bed. They will also turn your heating or cooling system back on before you wake up or come home, so you may never notice a change (except when you get lower heating or cooling bills).
While the weather is still warm, it is an ideal time to start thinking about making your home warmer for next winter. Don’t wait until the leaves start falling again before you take action. Weatherproofing is one of the most inexpensive and effective ways to make your home more comfortable and your monthly energy bills lower. Browse through our collection of weather proofing products to save energy.
Refrigerators are one of the largest energy users in the home. The temperature of the refrigerator compartment should be between 36 degrees Fahrenheit and 38 degrees F. The freezer should be between 0 degrees Fahrenheit and 5 degrees F. If the temperature is set as little as 10 degrees lower than these temperatures energy use can increase by as much as 25 percent.
Rechargeable Nickel Metal Hydride (Ni-MH) are more environmentally responsible than other types of batteries. They do not contain any heavy metals such as lead, mercury, or cadmium. These batteries are more convenient than disposable batteries. Rechargeable Ni-MH batteries will run up to 4 times longer than disposable batteries on each charge. Because they can be recharged again and again rechargeable Ni-MH batteries will help to save you money and reduce household waste.
A battery charger is a device used to put energy into a cell or (rechargeable) battery by forcing an electric current through it. Throw-away batteries are bad for the environment. If you care about saving money, or protecting the planet, or conserving natural resources, NiMH rechargeable batteries and Battery Chargers are clearly the only way to go.
