Yup. Got five of them in my house.

Energy Star website says I'd save about $100/year. And that energy savings is crap anyway, it's like fluorescent bulbs. They save nothing when you are heating the house. Same with the fridge. Half the year that "wasted" energy just keeps the house warm.

Besides, I can't blow a couple weeks pay on a (cheap) new one anyway.

I discovered last night that marriage can be extremely profitable to one's tax return, especially if the wife isn't working.

I bought this SOB tonight: http://www.lg.com/us/tvs/lg-55LW5600-led-tv

Fry's had it for $1300.

Problem solved.

Yeah? My wattmeter says different.

You should probably look into changing the heating system too if you think waste heat from a fridge tucked into the backwall of some kitchen is an efficient way to keep the house warm.

I gotta ask, do you install your incandescent bulbs at floor level?

All electricity turns into heat at 100% efficiency (granted some light/sound escapes the house before that happens, but it isn't much).

The fridge is against an interior wall.

The ceiling fans in every room are never off, so waste heat gets circulated pretty well.


And I dunno what your watt-meter is supposed to be telling you about my fridge. I didn't bother to look up the model, but a "typical" for pre-80 uses 2,000kwh/year, and a new one uses 500. 1,500kwh*0.075=$112/year.

Amazing how helping people cheat on their tax returns helps you buy wigs and tvs.....

Do they even have TVs in what insignificant country you're embarrassed to say you're from? Probably not. Christ that has to suck to be from there.

Where are you from?
