Decorative Light Strings

If all decorative light strings sold in America this year were ENERGY STAR qualified, we would save over 2 billion kWh per year and reduce greenhouse gas emissions equivalent to nearly 300,000 cars!

ENERGY STAR qualified decorative light strings — many which feature LED technology — consume 75% less energy than conventional incandescent lights strands.

ENERGY STAR Qualified Decorative Light Strings:

Can last up to 10 times longer than traditional incandescent strands.

Are cool to the touch, reducing the risk of fire.

Do not have moving parts, filaments or glass, so they are much more durable and shock-resistant than other light strings.

Are available in a variety of colors, shapes and lengths.

Come with a three-year warranty, meaning fewer light string replacements.

Are independently tested to meet strict lifetime and electrical requirements.

Products labeled for outdoor use are subjected to weathering tests.

Some models deliver features such as dimming or color shifting.

Solar

Solar-electricity, or photovoltaic (PV) converts sunlight directly into electricity. You may be more familiar with PV cells as solar cells that power watches and calculators. But PV can do much more. It can provide electricity for residential and commercial buildings, including power for lights and air conditioning. PV can also be a convenient source of power for pumping water, electrifying fences, or aerating ponds in remote applications.

Department of energy information on Solar power

Wind

The terms wind energy or wind power describe the process by which the wind is used to generate mechanical power or electricity. Wind turbines convert the kinetic energy in the wind into mechanical power. This mechanical power can be used for specific tasks (such as grinding grain or pumping water) or a generator can convert this mechanical power into electricity.

Exploring Ways to Use Ocean Energy

Oceans cover more than 70% of the Earth's surface. As the world's largest solar collectors, oceans generate thermal energy from the sun. They also produce mechanical energy from the tides and waves. Even though the sun affects all ocean activity, the gravitational pull of the moon primarily drives the tides, and the wind powers the ocean waves.

Here you can explore the different types of ocean energy:

Energy Star Appliances

Lavallette Electric customers only qualify for energy rebates through a tax you pay on your New Jersey Natural Gas bills, If you do not have New Jersey Natural Gas then you will not qualify for any rebates offered through the New Jersey Board of Public Utilities.

 This Program Is Being Funded By The American Recovery And Reinvestment Act, allowing the 13 municipally owned
electric utilities to qualify for these rebates for 2010. More info Funding Currently Only Provided Through September of 2010.

If you're in the market to buy new energy using products, look for products with the ENERGY STAR® label! The ENERGY STAR label is the national symbol for energy efficiency and is a voluntary partnership among the U.S. Department of Energy, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, product manufacturers, local utilities and retailers. The ENERGY STAR label helps to identify products that are energy-efficient and, therefore, cost less to operate. These products include household appliances, compact fluorescent light bulbs, lighting fixtures, home electronics, office equipment, heating and cooling products, and windows.

ENERGY STAR labeled products exceed federal energy efficiency standards, typically by 13 - 20 percent. Furthermore, many ENERGY STAR labeled products such as TV's, computers and other equipment do not cost more than standard efficiency models. Some ENERGY STAR labeled products, such as heating and cooling equipment, may cost a little more but energy bill savings make up for the slightly higher upfront price, often saving 15 - 40 percent annually over standard efficiency products.

ENERGY STAR labeled products also help to protect the environment by using less energy than conventional products that cost more to operate. To find the store closest to you carrying ENERGY STAR labeled products, use the store locator or product finder feature on the ENERGY STAR website at www.energystar.gov.

CCFL Lights:

Looking to save money? Replace your old, inefficient light bulbs with new, energy efficient compact florescent lights and lower your power bill. Plus, they use 75% less energy and last up to 10 times longer. When your bulbs no longer work please recycle them properly. More Information

Heating:

To lower winter heating costs, set your thermostat at the lowest comfortable setting. A comfortable, cost-effective range is  66°F and 68°F. Each degree higher can add substantially to your heating costs.

Before raising the thermostat, try putting on a sweater or sleeping with an extra blanket.

Don't block air registers or air grills with furniture, draperies or carpets.

Take advantage of nature's warmth by opening shades and curtains when the sun is shining. Keep them closed at night and on cloudy days.

Weather-strip and caulk your windows and doors, Seal and insulate your home

Cooling:

Water Heating and Conservation:

Computer Equipment:

Learn how to set power management on your computer.

Buy a Climate Savers certified energy efficient computer

Plug your computer peripherals (printer, scanner, speakers, fax machine) into a power strip and power down when not in use.

Electronics and Home Appliances:

Turn down the brightness on your TV and computer monitor

Look for and purchase ENERGY STAR appliances and electronics

Plug home electronics into a powerstrip and turn off when not in use. Or unplug appliances that you rarely use - when was the last time you used that VCR?

Don't keep your refrigerator and freezer too cold. Set temperature between 36-38 degrees F and freezers at 0-5 degrees.

Consider replacing that old, second refrigerator in the basement - Use This calculator to determine how much energy your refrigerator is using
