CHICAGO (Oct. 29, 2018) – With so much at stake, Halloween is great time to stop Energy Vampires who steal electricity in homes.
Energy Vampires are electric devices that continue to draw electricity when plugged in – even when they are turned off. According to the U.S. Department of Energy, the average household spends $100 to $200 per year to power plugged-in electronics and appliances while they are off or in standby mode.
Here are a few tips that can help customers close the coffin on Energy Vampires:
