Household Tip of the Week: You’ve done all you can to reduce the electric bill by using fluorescent light bulbs, turning down the thermostat, maybe even watching less TV, but have you considered the “vampire” energy users? These are devices that are quietly sucking up electricity, even when off, while in standby mode. There are simple and safe ways to reduce these users and their draw on power. Take a look at www.vampirepowersucks.com, a site devoted to just this problem, and start reducing that electric bill even further.
