Here's an excellent one that home builders use:
http://toolbase.org/index.aspx Check the tabs "Green Building", "Zero
Energy Homes" and "Energy Efficiency" to start.

I know this is saving folks some money Just FYI

Simply Cut Your Electricity Bill By Up To 25%

Xpower

If there was a way for you to reduce your power bill up to 25% EVERY
month, would you want to know about it?

All electricity is subject to surges from time to time, which result
in spikes or parasitic peaks that can be damaging to your household
equipment and appliances. These spikes simply consume electricity,
resulting in overheating, which can shorten the life of your
appliances and wiring. In extreme cases electrical spikes can cause
burns, blow outs and power cuts. Now, thanks to the XPower Energy
Saver, there is a smart way to reduce up to 25% of your electricity
consumption each and every month.

HERE'S HOW IT WORKS

XPower Energy Saver improves the power factor by reducing the amount
of electricity that is used from the utility company. This is
accomplished by supplying electricity locally at the load by the use
of specially designed capacitors. These advanced capacitors store the
additional electricity needed for stabilizing electric current within
an inductive load.
Therefore, the amount of electricity purchased from the utility
company by a power factor optimization has been greatly reduced,
resulting in power savings for the home or office.
