Save Money with Ceiling Fans

In this hot summer season here in Hawaii, it's tempting to blast the AC, but using your ceiling fans can save you a lot of money on your electricity bill. 

Here's an exert from an article by American Home Shield:

"In 24 hours, a standard central air conditioning unit can burn through a great deal of electricity. In the same amount of time a ceiling fan’s electric expense is less than a dime.

Tenant Tip: Saving on Electricity!

TENANT TIP: Saving on Electricity!


As a renter, you are most likely responsible for paying your electricity bill. Lighting is one of the easiest places to start saving energy. Replacing your five most frequently used light fixtures or the bulbs in them with ENERGY STAR qualified lights can save more than $65 a year in energy costs. 


ENERGY STAR qualified compact fluorescent light bulbs (CFLs) provide high-quality light output, use 75% less energy, and last 6–10 times longer than standard incandescent light bulbs, saving money on energy bills and replacement costs.


Remember to always turn off your lights when leaving a room. Turning off just one 60-watt incandescent bulb that would otherwise burn eight hours a day can save about $15 per year!
