Book Reviews of The Complete Guide to Reducing Energy Costs (Consumer Reports: You Need to Know)
Book Review: Great comprehensive source of energy saving information
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a great comprehensive guide. But if you're already energy conscious, there's not much new in this publication. For the general homeowner, it's definitely a must-have. Here are the most significant facts: new window replacements don't usually pay for themselves; CFL bulbs save a ton of energy and reduce carbon emissions at a low cost; front load washers save water but not much energy; your home loses energy through electrical outlets and switches; central cooling and heating is most efficient (don't use space heaters); and upgrading your central a/c and heater may be economical.
