This Year Put Your House on an Energy Diet

With the New Year here many people are back at the gyms and eating healthy as part of their resolutions. Another thing you may want to look at "trimming" is your utility bill. Look for products that are more "energy saving"!

Programmable thermostats can trim about $180 a year from your energy bill by automatically reducting your heat or cooling when you need it least.

Replacing 15 incandescent lightbulbs with energy-saving bulbs can save you a $50 a year and more than $600 in energy costs of the life of the bulbs.

Replace your old appliances with newer models that meet Energy Star Standards. You can save over $900 in the lifetime of the product. Appliances and electronics account for 20 percent of your energy bill!

When you purchase Energy Star Products you can usually receive rebates from your local power company. In Utah you can receive a rebate of $50-$750 back! Thermwise has a program, as do most local power companies, that pays for your attic insulation! They pay up to 25 cents a square foot I believe and you save about $35 on your utility bill every month.

At Rivell Distributing we offer many different Energy Star qualified Appliances!
