You should not close off too many vents - you can cause your coil to freeze up - also too much static pressure. Never close a vent with a return air duct in the room - doing so would return unconditioned air and cause a much higher electric bill. The best thing you can do is change your filter regularly (be sure to use a good one) and clean your condenser on the condensing unit.

Plus do either of you know how much pollution is generated by manufacturing these bulbs? For Joey & Jason: I too do not use CFLs because of mercury.

Although GE has announced a more efficient incandescent bulb so rather than jumping on the first bandwagon, let's see what else is out there. You will save money using them. Assuming its not broken, it needs to go to an approved disposal location. If you cannot find one locally, energystar.gov recommends that you seal it into a sealable plastic bag and then putting it into your regular garbage. They are efficient, more so than incandescent.

There are so many conflicting views that it's hard to know what is the best thing to do many times. I do use CFLs and have been very happy with them. I don't think that one has ever broken on me. That being said, I'm not sure if I know the correct way to dispose of them. I imagine it is not good to just place them in the trash. They probably also should not be put in the recycle bin. So what do you do with them when they do wear out? This is what is so frustrating about trying to do the right thing when it comes to saving energy.

I think there are places you can go and have these new bulbs recycled, but the truth is, the American people are not interested in doing that, unless you could throw them in your recycling bin at home, which you can't.
