We've NEVER had to replace one. They last so long, you'll definitely save money if you make the switch. Here in Cali, there are a lot of "green" apartment complexes. We live in one, all of the appliances are energy saving and the roof tops of our covered parking lot are covered in solar panels. I also know that there are programs for people living in California who have qualifying low inomes to receive free new energy saving refridgerators and other appliances and services. It's worth looking into if you live in Cali, but I don't know if these programs exsist in other states!

We have changed our light bulbs over and I am starting to unplug and turn off things. Wash in cold water and only use 1/2 detergent (especially with cloth nappies) We are fortunate we can still use our outdoor clothesline in winter here - but sometimes we use warm to get dampness out to finish. I hope you are doing better Lotus , I have been thinking of you. I hope you sleep improves and your energy is renewed. <em>Trish's last blog post..<a href='http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/blogspot/QHnl/~3/292856559/weekly-winners_18.html' rel="nofollow">Weekly winners</a></em> Great post and you covered it well.
