Re: plug and save

Hi cossie,

Those things are a waste of money. If you want to impact your electric bill, keep all extra lights turned off. Replace the light bulbs with the new florescent type that give off more light at less wattage. Keep your thermostat turned up a couple of degrees in the summer and down a couple in the winter. Extry insolation in your home will do wonders for your electric bill.

Power factor correction capacitors (those things they are trying to sell) are only important in factorys that use very large electric motors and other inductive devices. Not cost effective for residential use.

Best regards,
Mack1
