1
00:00:19,200 --> 00:00:20,240
Speaker 1: Well, back here it we go.

2
00:00:20,400 --> 00:00:24,520
Speaker 2: We just had a great discussion regarding insulation and we're

3
00:00:24,520 --> 00:00:29,000
Speaker 2: going to continue that because I'm joined with Ashley England.

4
00:00:29,080 --> 00:00:31,840
Speaker 2: She is with the Tennessee Valley Authority and she's our

5
00:00:32,040 --> 00:00:35,320
Speaker 2: energy expert. Ashley, welcome that home with Gary Sullivan.

6
00:00:36,479 --> 00:00:38,360
Speaker 3: Thank you so much for having me. It's great to

7
00:00:38,360 --> 00:00:38,720
Speaker 3: be here.

8
00:00:39,280 --> 00:00:42,520
Speaker 2: Well, we were just chatting about insulation, and why don't

9
00:00:42,560 --> 00:00:46,400
Speaker 2: we start with you describing exactly. We've all heard about it.

10
00:00:46,440 --> 00:00:49,000
Speaker 2: We heard about it in great school and everything else.

11
00:00:49,320 --> 00:00:51,760
Speaker 1: The Tennessee Valley Authority, what is it?

12
00:00:53,080 --> 00:00:55,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, you know, a lot of folks didn't grow up

13
00:00:55,240 --> 00:00:58,160
Speaker 3: around here, so it's always a good reminders. The Tennessee

14
00:00:58,240 --> 00:01:02,440
Speaker 3: Valley Authority d electricity for one hundred and fifty three

15
00:01:02,480 --> 00:01:07,200
Speaker 3: local power companies. We serve about ten million people across

16
00:01:07,280 --> 00:01:10,360
Speaker 3: seven states in the Southeast, and we also serve about

17
00:01:10,360 --> 00:01:13,640
Speaker 3: sixty large industrial customers. I think some of the more

18
00:01:13,680 --> 00:01:17,800
Speaker 3: important things to know is that we don't get taxpayer funding. Rather,

19
00:01:18,040 --> 00:01:21,280
Speaker 3: our revenues come from the sale of electricity. But we

20
00:01:21,360 --> 00:01:24,000
Speaker 3: do a lot more than just generating sell electricity. We

21
00:01:24,080 --> 00:01:27,840
Speaker 3: also ride flood control, navigation, and land management for the

22
00:01:27,880 --> 00:01:31,600
Speaker 3: Tennessee river system, and we assist local power companies and

23
00:01:31,640 --> 00:01:34,920
Speaker 3: regional governments with economic development efforts. So we like to

24
00:01:34,959 --> 00:01:38,200
Speaker 3: say that we like to touch folks, touch things that

25
00:01:38,280 --> 00:01:41,680
Speaker 3: make the Tennessee Valley a wonderful place to live, work

26
00:01:41,680 --> 00:01:42,039
Speaker 3: and play.

27
00:01:43,240 --> 00:01:44,319
Speaker 1: Very good you said that.

28
00:01:44,480 --> 00:01:47,960
Speaker 2: Well, you also said something about generating electricity, and I

29
00:01:48,040 --> 00:01:50,760
Speaker 2: hear a lot of things and read a lot of

30
00:01:50,800 --> 00:01:54,279
Speaker 2: things about the future of generating electricity, and it's almost

31
00:01:54,400 --> 00:01:57,680
Speaker 2: kind of scary. The need for electricity is increasing, is

32
00:01:57,720 --> 00:01:57,960
Speaker 2: it not.

33
00:01:59,240 --> 00:02:02,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, we're seeing a ton of growth in our region.

34
00:02:02,760 --> 00:02:05,440
Speaker 3: Is growing really faster around here than it is in

35
00:02:05,480 --> 00:02:08,880
Speaker 3: some other parts of the United States. But between all

36
00:02:08,919 --> 00:02:12,160
Speaker 3: the influx of folks moving to this beautiful area, as

37
00:02:12,200 --> 00:02:17,880
Speaker 3: well as you know, electrification of equipment and manufacturing, and

38
00:02:18,240 --> 00:02:20,959
Speaker 3: then of course the data needs, there's a lot of

39
00:02:21,000 --> 00:02:21,840
Speaker 3: growth in the area.

40
00:02:21,960 --> 00:02:28,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, sure is. So as a homeowner, I know the.

41
00:02:30,120 --> 00:02:35,639
Speaker 2: Goal is to conserve as a homeowner, to conserve electricity,

42
00:02:35,760 --> 00:02:42,639
Speaker 2: can serve our energy needs, to minimize building more plants,

43
00:02:42,680 --> 00:02:46,880
Speaker 2: I guess, or more ways to produce electricity, and to

44
00:02:47,000 --> 00:02:52,120
Speaker 2: keep our bills down, which everybody's focusing on. So let's

45
00:02:52,160 --> 00:02:55,720
Speaker 2: talk about you know what a homeowner can do. Where

46
00:02:55,800 --> 00:02:57,760
Speaker 2: is it start? I guess one of the bigger use

47
00:02:57,840 --> 00:03:06,119
Speaker 2: of uses of energy in our home holmes furnaces, water heaters,

48
00:03:07,480 --> 00:03:09,280
Speaker 2: doing the wash, that type of thing.

49
00:03:10,480 --> 00:03:14,640
Speaker 3: That's right, those large appliances. But really the largest uh

50
00:03:15,000 --> 00:03:17,919
Speaker 3: you utilizer of energy in your home is your your

51
00:03:18,080 --> 00:03:22,320
Speaker 3: HVAC system. It's nearly and sometimes more than half of

52
00:03:22,360 --> 00:03:26,320
Speaker 3: your home's energy used. So that is definitely the area

53
00:03:26,360 --> 00:03:29,120
Speaker 3: you want to point yourself into. If you're you're you know,

54
00:03:29,200 --> 00:03:31,600
Speaker 3: one of the things you can do, uh to get

55
00:03:31,600 --> 00:03:33,760
Speaker 3: a handle on your bills is to make sure that

56
00:03:33,800 --> 00:03:37,000
Speaker 3: your HVAC is running at its full potential. One of

57
00:03:37,000 --> 00:03:39,920
Speaker 3: the things we really love to suggest people do is

58
00:03:39,920 --> 00:03:42,000
Speaker 3: go ahead and get their h FAC tuned up twice

59
00:03:42,040 --> 00:03:44,200
Speaker 3: a year. You want to do that, you know, in

60
00:03:44,240 --> 00:03:47,640
Speaker 3: this season right now, fall, right before the winter really hits,

61
00:03:47,680 --> 00:03:50,160
Speaker 3: and then again in the spring before the summer heat hits.

62
00:03:51,280 --> 00:03:54,240
Speaker 3: That it's you know, it's just like your yearly checkup,

63
00:03:54,320 --> 00:03:57,440
Speaker 3: right it's it's going to prevent bigger issues from popping

64
00:03:57,560 --> 00:04:00,920
Speaker 3: up down the road. Your your tuneup's going to test

65
00:04:00,920 --> 00:04:05,280
Speaker 3: your system. They'll inspect your condenser and your evaporator coils

66
00:04:05,320 --> 00:04:07,720
Speaker 3: as well as the compressor and the refrigerant charge. And

67
00:04:07,720 --> 00:04:11,320
Speaker 3: they'll also make sure you're replacing your dirty air filters

68
00:04:11,360 --> 00:04:14,720
Speaker 3: and that's something we recommend folks do, you know, monthly

69
00:04:14,800 --> 00:04:18,040
Speaker 3: every other month maybe to prevent build up that can

70
00:04:18,080 --> 00:04:21,840
Speaker 3: reduce the system's efficiency. And if you're in the if

71
00:04:21,880 --> 00:04:24,320
Speaker 3: you're served by a local power company in the Tennessee

72
00:04:24,480 --> 00:04:27,880
Speaker 3: Valley Authority territory, you can get a fifty dollars rebate

73
00:04:27,920 --> 00:04:30,640
Speaker 3: from us for getting that tune up done by a

74
00:04:30,720 --> 00:04:33,719
Speaker 3: member of our Quality contractor network. So we really try

75
00:04:33,760 --> 00:04:36,000
Speaker 3: to help folks offset the costs of the tune up

76
00:04:36,000 --> 00:04:37,320
Speaker 3: and encourage people to do that.

77
00:04:38,080 --> 00:04:40,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'll tell you, Ashley, you bring up a great,

78
00:04:40,760 --> 00:04:43,479
Speaker 2: great point. I do it, and I do it twice

79
00:04:43,520 --> 00:04:48,800
Speaker 2: a year also, And you're talking about rebate, But I

80
00:04:48,839 --> 00:04:52,000
Speaker 2: tell people a lot of cases, if you have a

81
00:04:52,040 --> 00:04:55,520
Speaker 2: good heating and cooling company that you can you know,

82
00:04:55,560 --> 00:04:58,080
Speaker 2: have used in the past, and they're you know, good people,

83
00:04:58,120 --> 00:05:01,360
Speaker 2: they're reliable as stuff, you have them tune it up.

84
00:05:01,640 --> 00:05:04,080
Speaker 1: They will usually give you if you have a.

85
00:05:04,120 --> 00:05:06,760
Speaker 2: Problem and you you know eventually it will probably have

86
00:05:06,800 --> 00:05:09,760
Speaker 2: a problem, you'll go to the front of the line.

87
00:05:10,240 --> 00:05:12,560
Speaker 1: And of course when heating and cooling breaks down.

88
00:05:12,600 --> 00:05:15,880
Speaker 2: It's usually when it's really hot or really cold, and

89
00:05:15,920 --> 00:05:17,560
Speaker 2: you go to the front of the line. Because you're

90
00:05:17,600 --> 00:05:20,600
Speaker 2: a member of you're a customer, you're a good customer.

91
00:05:21,040 --> 00:05:24,760
Speaker 2: You'll also get discounts on parts. And I don't know

92
00:05:24,800 --> 00:05:26,760
Speaker 2: if you have the data on this, and I'll just

93
00:05:26,839 --> 00:05:29,479
Speaker 2: throw it out, you know. I think if you have

94
00:05:29,720 --> 00:05:33,920
Speaker 2: that tuned up, you increase the life of that HVA

95
00:05:34,360 --> 00:05:42,160
Speaker 2: system probably significantly, maybe twenty twenty five additional life.

96
00:05:42,240 --> 00:05:45,640
Speaker 3: That's exactly what we hear from you. The contractors that

97
00:05:45,680 --> 00:05:48,280
Speaker 3: we work with in our network that you know you're

98
00:05:48,360 --> 00:05:50,960
Speaker 3: your tune up is going to help prevent issues. They're

99
00:05:51,000 --> 00:05:52,919
Speaker 3: going to be able to keep that system running more

100
00:05:52,960 --> 00:05:56,360
Speaker 3: efficiently longer. And of course, you know, if you do

101
00:05:56,440 --> 00:05:58,800
Speaker 3: need it to be replaced, it's not a cheap system.

102
00:05:58,960 --> 00:06:03,240
Speaker 3: It's expense right right, you know, and we offer rebates

103
00:06:03,279 --> 00:06:06,000
Speaker 3: as well to help with the system replacement if that

104
00:06:06,160 --> 00:06:08,040
Speaker 3: is where you're at, you know, if it's on its

105
00:06:08,080 --> 00:06:11,720
Speaker 3: last legs. But yeah, we definitely think it's one of

106
00:06:11,800 --> 00:06:13,800
Speaker 3: the best things you can do. And I know it's

107
00:06:13,800 --> 00:06:17,920
Speaker 3: hard to remember and to schedule, but you know, one

108
00:06:17,920 --> 00:06:19,719
Speaker 3: of the things I love to do is I just

109
00:06:20,400 --> 00:06:22,640
Speaker 3: there are some some websites you could just set like

110
00:06:22,680 --> 00:06:26,320
Speaker 3: an auto subscribe for your air filters, right, you know,

111
00:06:26,360 --> 00:06:28,919
Speaker 3: you figure out your size and then it just automatically

112
00:06:29,000 --> 00:06:31,920
Speaker 3: shows up on your doorstep every two months, and that's

113
00:06:31,960 --> 00:06:34,680
Speaker 3: your trigger you remember, oh it's here, I can replace that.

114
00:06:34,839 --> 00:06:37,240
Speaker 3: And that way, when your your tune up comes around

115
00:06:37,240 --> 00:06:39,640
Speaker 3: to you don't have a nasty filter clogging things up.

116
00:06:39,720 --> 00:06:42,360
Speaker 1: Make HF way good good point.

117
00:06:42,520 --> 00:06:44,719
Speaker 2: And in fact, earlier in the show today, I was

118
00:06:44,720 --> 00:06:49,360
Speaker 2: telling people, you know, a pleated filter, the manufacturer recommends,

119
00:06:49,480 --> 00:06:51,760
Speaker 2: you know, ninety days every three months, and I said,

120
00:06:51,839 --> 00:06:54,840
Speaker 2: this time of year, when you have more activity in

121
00:06:54,880 --> 00:06:57,000
Speaker 2: your home than you have probably any other time of

122
00:06:57,040 --> 00:07:00,320
Speaker 2: the year, change that thing at least every sixty days,

123
00:07:00,360 --> 00:07:05,159
Speaker 2: because you're paying to heat that air and satisfy that thermostat.

124
00:07:05,279 --> 00:07:09,280
Speaker 2: And if that filter is having difficulty passing that air through,

125
00:07:09,400 --> 00:07:11,760
Speaker 2: it takes longer to satisfy that thermostat.

126
00:07:13,080 --> 00:07:15,920
Speaker 3: That's that's exactly right. And you know, I just I'm

127
00:07:15,920 --> 00:07:19,200
Speaker 3: remindful too. If you have pets, you definitely need to

128
00:07:19,200 --> 00:07:23,080
Speaker 3: be doing for thirty days. Oh you know, the hair

129
00:07:23,280 --> 00:07:26,000
Speaker 3: builds up in there. And you know, if anybody who's

130
00:07:26,040 --> 00:07:28,080
Speaker 3: waited a little too long and taken it out and thought,

131
00:07:28,120 --> 00:07:31,280
Speaker 3: oh my gosh, I can't believe they've been sitting in

132
00:07:31,320 --> 00:07:31,760
Speaker 3: this bed.

133
00:07:31,960 --> 00:07:38,240
Speaker 2: So oh yeah, yeah, sure, is there a way do

134
00:07:38,320 --> 00:07:43,080
Speaker 2: what your suffer can do in energy assessment in their home? Yeah?

135
00:07:43,160 --> 00:07:47,360
Speaker 3: We have this amazing dy do it yourself home energy Assessment.

136
00:07:47,720 --> 00:07:50,080
Speaker 3: I really love this tool for folks. If you're not

137
00:07:50,200 --> 00:07:52,560
Speaker 3: really sure where to start. You know, maybe you do

138
00:07:52,640 --> 00:07:55,640
Speaker 3: get your h FAC tuned up regularly, you change your filters,

139
00:07:55,640 --> 00:07:57,800
Speaker 3: but you know your bills are maybe higher than you

140
00:07:57,840 --> 00:08:00,080
Speaker 3: want them to be, or your house just isn't as

141
00:08:00,080 --> 00:08:02,560
Speaker 3: cozy as you want it to be. This is a

142
00:08:02,560 --> 00:08:06,000
Speaker 3: great tool. It takes just maybe five six minutes to take.

143
00:08:06,480 --> 00:08:08,680
Speaker 3: You are going to answer some questions about your home.

144
00:08:08,840 --> 00:08:10,760
Speaker 3: I recommend you take it on your phone so you

145
00:08:10,800 --> 00:08:12,960
Speaker 3: can kind of walk around the house and look at

146
00:08:13,000 --> 00:08:14,800
Speaker 3: the different systems because it's going to ask you some

147
00:08:14,880 --> 00:08:16,800
Speaker 3: questions you may not know the answer to off the

148
00:08:16,840 --> 00:08:19,120
Speaker 3: top of your head. And at the end you're going

149
00:08:19,160 --> 00:08:22,560
Speaker 3: to get a tailored list of recommendations, so tailored to

150
00:08:22,680 --> 00:08:25,680
Speaker 3: your home and the input you gave to that assessment

151
00:08:25,720 --> 00:08:28,640
Speaker 3: to help you save and right now, if you take

152
00:08:28,720 --> 00:08:32,520
Speaker 3: that assessment. You're going to get a free energy saving

153
00:08:32,640 --> 00:08:34,839
Speaker 3: kit shipped to you in the mail. You're going to

154
00:08:34,920 --> 00:08:37,600
Speaker 3: have great energy saving gadgets in there, things like LED

155
00:08:37,720 --> 00:08:41,400
Speaker 3: light bulbs and filter whistles. And then you're also going

156
00:08:41,480 --> 00:08:44,080
Speaker 3: to have a ten dollars Home Improvement Store gift card

157
00:08:44,080 --> 00:08:45,959
Speaker 3: in there just to help you get started on your

158
00:08:46,120 --> 00:08:48,320
Speaker 3: energy saving journey. So it's free to take and you

159
00:08:48,360 --> 00:08:49,960
Speaker 3: get that kit for freeing the mail. So it's a

160
00:08:50,000 --> 00:08:50,640
Speaker 3: really great deal.

161
00:08:50,840 --> 00:08:53,640
Speaker 1: Excellent. What kind of what's the website they go to.

162
00:08:54,800 --> 00:08:59,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's energy right dot com. And you can also

163
00:08:59,200 --> 00:09:02,079
Speaker 3: find all the infram about the rebates I mentioned earlier

164
00:09:02,120 --> 00:09:04,120
Speaker 3: there too, energy right dot com.

165
00:09:04,600 --> 00:09:05,800
Speaker 1: Energyright dot com.

166
00:09:05,840 --> 00:09:13,600
Speaker 2: Because somebody's going to ask me, like on Wednesday.

167
00:09:10,640 --> 00:09:12,280
Speaker 3: Oh, everybody write it down.

168
00:09:12,559 --> 00:09:19,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, so is the main reason obviously, you folks

169
00:09:19,559 --> 00:09:23,280
Speaker 2: sell the energy, and you know some people right now

170
00:09:23,280 --> 00:09:25,680
Speaker 2: are thinking like, well, why is the peerson selling the

171
00:09:25,800 --> 00:09:29,120
Speaker 2: energy teaching people how to save energy? Kind of explain

172
00:09:29,200 --> 00:09:32,200
Speaker 2: that because I think that's really interesting. Yeah.

173
00:09:32,240 --> 00:09:34,160
Speaker 3: Well, you know, we get this question a lot, but

174
00:09:34,320 --> 00:09:37,000
Speaker 3: you know, we kind of started our conversation about all

175
00:09:37,000 --> 00:09:39,400
Speaker 3: the growth in the area, and it can be it's

176
00:09:39,440 --> 00:09:42,520
Speaker 3: related to that you know, when we can lower demand

177
00:09:42,600 --> 00:09:46,840
Speaker 3: for energy, especially at peak times. So you think of

178
00:09:46,880 --> 00:09:50,000
Speaker 3: the cold winter mornings, everybody's getting up, maybe somebody's taking

179
00:09:50,040 --> 00:09:52,760
Speaker 3: a hot shower, somebody's using a blow dar, somebody's cooking

180
00:09:52,800 --> 00:09:55,800
Speaker 3: on the stove, baby, somebody's watching TV that and your

181
00:09:55,960 --> 00:09:58,440
Speaker 3: h fact of course, is just working really hard to

182
00:09:58,520 --> 00:10:01,640
Speaker 3: keep your house warm that time. That's what we call

183
00:10:01,760 --> 00:10:04,640
Speaker 3: a peak energy time. And so when we can lower

184
00:10:04,960 --> 00:10:08,200
Speaker 3: energy use at those peak needs, that means that TVA

185
00:10:08,480 --> 00:10:12,360
Speaker 3: saves on operational costs and it reduces our need to

186
00:10:12,400 --> 00:10:17,520
Speaker 3: invest in infrastructure to only serve peak needs. Right that's

187
00:10:17,520 --> 00:10:20,040
Speaker 3: the very expensive infrastructure that you only get to turn

188
00:10:20,080 --> 00:10:22,839
Speaker 3: on and use a few times a year. So when

189
00:10:22,880 --> 00:10:25,520
Speaker 3: we don't have to do that, that helps us maintain

190
00:10:25,640 --> 00:10:29,600
Speaker 3: low rates and a more reliable and resilient grid. And

191
00:10:29,840 --> 00:10:31,719
Speaker 3: you know, right now, with all this growth, it kind

192
00:10:31,720 --> 00:10:34,600
Speaker 3: of means that there's more energy available to go around

193
00:10:34,920 --> 00:10:36,880
Speaker 3: so that we can support all this growth. Because we

194
00:10:36,880 --> 00:10:39,240
Speaker 3: do want to support this growth. We want to enable

195
00:10:39,400 --> 00:10:41,960
Speaker 3: you know, great jobs to come into our area and

196
00:10:42,000 --> 00:10:45,040
Speaker 3: companies to set up shop here so we can just

197
00:10:45,160 --> 00:10:48,640
Speaker 3: keep the economy humming. So that's our goal and that's

198
00:10:48,679 --> 00:10:50,280
Speaker 3: why we invest in programs like this.

199
00:10:50,440 --> 00:10:52,960
Speaker 2: Well, they are good goals and a good benefit to

200
00:10:53,000 --> 00:10:55,920
Speaker 2: the consumer too. And you know, we start talking about

201
00:10:56,000 --> 00:10:59,400
Speaker 2: the bigger appliances and we got into the furnace and everything.

202
00:11:00,240 --> 00:11:04,920
Speaker 2: One of the refrigerators, I know, they're big energy users,

203
00:11:04,960 --> 00:11:09,559
Speaker 2: but I think what everyone needs to know is today's refrigerators,

204
00:11:09,679 --> 00:11:13,480
Speaker 2: ovens and things. They're so so much more efficient than

205
00:11:13,480 --> 00:11:18,000
Speaker 2: they were ten or fifteen years ago and kind of

206
00:11:18,600 --> 00:11:21,880
Speaker 2: not rethink. But you know a lot of people have

207
00:11:21,920 --> 00:11:24,560
Speaker 2: an older refrigera they use as a backup, which I

208
00:11:24,559 --> 00:11:28,360
Speaker 2: guess is fine, but that's probably an energy hog in

209
00:11:28,400 --> 00:11:30,240
Speaker 2: a lot of homes.

210
00:11:30,480 --> 00:11:32,920
Speaker 3: Yes, you know, that's actually one of the things that

211
00:11:32,960 --> 00:11:36,400
Speaker 3: we try to flag when we do home energy evaluations.

212
00:11:37,280 --> 00:11:41,199
Speaker 3: You know, you're exactly right, like, if your fridge is

213
00:11:41,559 --> 00:11:44,120
Speaker 3: over ten to fifteen years old, it's going to drive

214
00:11:44,200 --> 00:11:48,320
Speaker 3: up higher energy bills, and you know, so you have

215
00:11:48,400 --> 00:11:50,480
Speaker 3: to decide is it worth it to keep it? You know,

216
00:11:51,440 --> 00:11:53,280
Speaker 3: you know, the dad with the beer fridge in the

217
00:11:53,320 --> 00:11:58,800
Speaker 3: garage is kind of a class. Beer's getting expensive, right,

218
00:11:58,960 --> 00:12:01,920
Speaker 3: that's right, So you might need to downgrade your beer

219
00:12:01,960 --> 00:12:04,439
Speaker 3: purchase if you're going to keep it in the ole, get.

220
00:12:04,240 --> 00:12:07,840
Speaker 1: A little smaller fridge, get a newer one, and get

221
00:12:07,840 --> 00:12:08,640
Speaker 1: a smaller one.

222
00:12:08,720 --> 00:12:12,720
Speaker 2: I guess is the answer for that. Well, yeah, I'll

223
00:12:12,720 --> 00:12:14,520
Speaker 2: tell you it. You know, we got through the whole

224
00:12:14,600 --> 00:12:16,840
Speaker 2: light bulb thing. I know, we worked our way through

225
00:12:16,880 --> 00:12:20,040
Speaker 2: that for about twenty years. I know people are still

226
00:12:20,080 --> 00:12:23,960
Speaker 2: converting into LEDs, but I'm sure that's been a pretty

227
00:12:23,960 --> 00:12:27,720
Speaker 2: big savor of energy for TVA.

228
00:12:27,880 --> 00:12:31,079
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, absolutely, and we're still you know, that's that's

229
00:12:31,120 --> 00:12:33,640
Speaker 3: why we include those in those kids and we still

230
00:12:33,679 --> 00:12:35,560
Speaker 3: see folks so that haven't done that. You know, a

231
00:12:35,559 --> 00:12:38,520
Speaker 3: lot of people kind of got burned by the first

232
00:12:38,640 --> 00:12:41,760
Speaker 3: round of h CFL and LED lights that.

233
00:12:43,720 --> 00:12:44,200
Speaker 4: Quality.

234
00:12:44,320 --> 00:12:47,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, and that's all they remember. So we try to

235
00:12:48,200 --> 00:12:50,960
Speaker 3: when we go into folks homes and remind them that, hey,

236
00:12:51,040 --> 00:12:53,160
Speaker 3: the new ones are great. You can get them in

237
00:12:53,200 --> 00:12:57,040
Speaker 3: a nice warm quality, and switching to LED lighting it's

238
00:12:57,120 --> 00:13:01,320
Speaker 3: going to save you about seventy five percent sent compared

239
00:13:01,360 --> 00:13:05,040
Speaker 3: to a traditional incandescent Bold. Yeah, so I mean that

240
00:13:05,360 --> 00:13:08,000
Speaker 3: we're talking you know, two hundred, two hundred twenty five

241
00:13:08,040 --> 00:13:10,560
Speaker 3: dollars a year depending on how much you use your lights.

242
00:13:10,800 --> 00:13:14,679
Speaker 3: So that's worth it, and I definitely recommend people look

243
00:13:14,720 --> 00:13:15,120
Speaker 3: into that.

244
00:13:15,440 --> 00:13:15,840
Speaker 1: Very good.

245
00:13:16,200 --> 00:13:18,320
