It would be great to have a solar grid over all of the State of Texas. In this day and age, it is so important to look into alternative energy sources, like Solar power. A solar shingle roof would harness the power of the sun, create zero-emissions and zero cost electricity for your home. By using Energy-Star qualified products, you can save up to 30% on your energy bill without sacrificing style or comfort. Raise your thermostat in the summer and use your ceiling fans to help cool, which can save energy and money. Use a programmable thermostat to help save energy and fit your lifestyle. Install dimmer switches to save energy. An Eco-Dim switch can save 15% on your electricity bill and you can use only as much light as you need. When you consider that lighting accounts for nearly 20% of the average home's electricity bill, dimming can have a huge impact. There are many ways to help save the environment and reduce energy consumption. We must all work together to save our Planet! and it starts at home. - Debbie S. Related Information
