As we have watched our retirement funds evaporate and our home values plummet over the last few months in a market of uncertainty and corruption, it may be a good time to reconsider taking investment matters into your own hands and invest on decreasing your power bills every month.

There are many inexpensive items you can install in your home or business over time that will significantly reduce your power bill. These items, such as C.F.I.'s, weather-stripping, spring wound timers, insulation, etc., can be purchased at hardware and big box retailers when on sale. Over time, these items can save lots of money on your power bill.

As you slowly invest in energy saving items, you can set long term goals to further reduce your power bills, such as new energy efficient A/C's, solar water heaters and photovoltaic roof panels. Over time, your goal should be to cut your power consumption in half. This is very achievable with what is available on the market today.

As we struggle with a worsening economy, "A penny saved is a penny earned" has become more appealing to all of us. Improving your home efficiency while maintaining your Comfort level is easily achievable once you set goals to reducing your energy bills.
