Energy Efficiency
Tips

 

LED light bulbs are a great way to save money on your electricity bill. They use up to 75% less energy than old, incandescent bulbs.

*****

Save energy by preventing phantom loads - energy that is used by appliances and electronics even when they are turned off. Plug TV and stereo systems into a power strip and turn off all the peripherals with the flip of one switch.
