I was just looking through a flier from a home improvement chain and I didn’t realize there were so many products available to help us make our homes more energy efficient and to cut energy bills.

Most of the products are very inexpensive but I’m sure if I used  several things my energy savings would be significant.

There are water heater blankets, insulated sleeves for pipes, insulation for behind switch plates, and expandable foam to fill in cracks and gaps.

I can buy insulated window kits to add another layer of insulation to my old, drafty windows which will help me save money until I can afford to replace them.

I think it’s a great idea to start with these products to cut utility bills and save some money, but what if I want to do even more? What if I want to make my own electricity for my home?

I decided to find out.  So I went online and found information on alternative energy sources such as wind power, solar power and hydroelectric power.

I thought for my needs, where I live, and my budget, wind power would be the best option. 

I did a little more poking around and I found that I can generate about 60% of the energy my home needs with just one turbine.

I also found that just one turbine will save me around 80% on my electric bill and that I can build it myself for only a few hundred dollars.

So to cut energy bills this winter, and throughout the year, I’m going to head over to my hardware store and buy all the supplies I need to make my own wind turbine so I can generate my own electricity.  Eventually I won’t need my utility company at all.
