By: FPL Media Line FPL’s Danielle Mousseau recently visited a local home improvement store with the goal of spending $100 on energy-efficient products. “As someone who finds home improvement stores a little daunting, I knew I needed to be prepared. I brought a list with me so I knew exactly what I was looking for, and so I could get the most savings for the money,” she said. Here’s a look at Danielle’s shopping list: 5 Compact fluorescent light bulbs Estimated Cost: $15 Energy Savings:$250/ 1 Low flow shower head Estimated Cost: $30 Energy Savings: $80/year 3 Faucet aerators Estimated Cost: $8 Energy Savings: $15/ year Weather stripping and door sweeps Estimated Cost: $40 Energy Savings: $50/year 1 Water heater pipe insulation kit Estimated Cost: $5 Energy Savings: $14/year Cost $98 Total Energy Savings $409 For less than $100, Mousseau managed to purchase products that, over their lifetime, will save her $409 – that’s more than a 400 percent return on her quick shopping trip. “The idea I want to share with people is that making just a few small changes around your home can make a big difference - both for saving energy and money,” she said. “As an FPL customer, I know I have the lowest electric bill in Florida, and making a few small energy efficient changes at home helps me to make it even lower.” If you choose to make bigger changes, and somewhat larger investments - things like computer monitors, laser printers and copiers - you can realize even greater savings. Mousseau says products that have an “Energy Star” rating can save you at least 30 percent compared to traditional products.
