Well let’s start withe the new CFL energy saving light bulbs. Now you can buy those at any Walmart or hardware store. They even have them in some grocery stores. That is a very good clue that they work. But you still have to weigh the cost. I would not go out and buy all new light bulbs and throw the old ones away. You are better off to keep some on hand and replace the old ones

as they go bad.

Water saving shower heads are really a good example energy saving devices that work. Surely if you use less hot water, you won’t pay as much for energy to heat it. Another no-brainer.

Tankless hot water heaters. Yes they do save money. But they are expensive to install. This is another case where you would have to weigh the cost against the savings. If it takes you 10 years to save enough money to pay for it, you may want to look down other avenues.

Some energy devices are just plain scams. Seems like there are always people looking to take advantage of people. I am not sure that I would want to be the one to “test” new energy saving devices! And you know what they say. “If it sounds to good to be true, it probably is”!

So if you are looking at energy saving devices, just make sure that you do your homework, before you lay out your hard earned cash!
