I vant to suck your kilowatts!

energy savings ideas

Ever notice that with the lights turned off at night some rooms in your house look like a NASA control center? Lots of pretty, blinking, flashing multicolor lights. Lights from phone chargers, the modem, the router, the computer, the cable box, etc., etc. Guess what? All those devices are using up kilowatts that you're paying for.

All these devices engage in "electrical leaking." Sometimes called vampire power, the little glowing and blinking lights represent electricity getting sucked off the grid constantly. It's always been an issue but with homes today having more of these types of devices than ever before, it can actually add up to a material amount of energy consumption on a household basis. Stop the power drain and unplug!

Don't get robbed of your kilowatts
