You’ll also help to reduce harmful gas emissions from entering the atmosphere and will help save precious natural resources.</p>
<h3>Energy Star Label</h3>
<p>The United States Environmental Protection Agency awards an Energy Star label to products that meet energy efficiency standards. To garner an Energy Star label, if the appliance costs more than a conventional appliance, it must recoup that added cost through monthly savings on energy bills. Purchasing a product with the Energy Star label is an assured and easy way to make your home more energy-efficient.</p>
<h3>Power Strips</h3>
<p>Blinking LED lights indicate that electronics are using power, whether they are turned on or not. Plugging them into power strips makes it easy to turn off the connection with a flip of a switch.</p>
<h3>Compact Fluorescent Light Bulbs</h3>
<p>Compact fluorescent light bulbs are a worthwhile investment. They consume only 25 percent of the electricity that conventional bulbs use and outlast them tenfold.</p>
<p>Energy efficiency in the home saves you money in the long run, and helps ensure that resources are available for the generations that follow.  When you need home <a title="appliances" href="http://www.directhomediscount.com/appliances.aspx" target="_blank">appliances</a>, and other home accessories, <a title="DirectBuy" href="http://www.directhomediscount.com/" target="_blank">DirectBuy</a> has a wonderful selection for you to choose from.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Lighting can set the tone or mood for any room in your home. If you want to set up a home theater, you need a room where you can control the lighting with a minimal amount of natural light. On the other hand, if you want an open room for reading your favorite book, people generally want as much natural light as possible.</p>
