Lighting likely accounts for 12% of your home’s energy use – but don’t worry. Improving lighting is a fast, simple way to reduce energy bills. And with new lighting standards, you have more money-saving options than ever before.

New Lighting Standards

Since new lighting standards began in January 2012, light bulbs are almost 30% more efficient than the old-style incandescent bulbs. That means families who change at least 15 of their bulbs could save between $50 and more than $100 per year in electricity costs.
