Energy Tip
Geothermal systems are now seeing payback periods as short as 5 years. A 2,000 square foot home can have geothermal installed for about $20,000. They have efficiencies of 300 percent. Tired of high energy bills --- Geothermal is the answer. If you can afford geothermal look into an air source heat pump from K & S heating (320-629-4626). It's costs a little more than a regular system, but has efficiencies up to 150%.
Replace your 48" fluorescent lighting with T-8 bulbs. These skinnier fluroscent lights provide just as much light as the others (T-10's) for a lot less energy.
Change lightbulbs to compact fluorescent bulbs (CFL's) - they last up to 10 times as long and are just as bright.
