This year, don\u2019t let a high energy bill haunt your Halloween by following our tips below:<\/p>\n<p><strong>Banish Cold Chills from Your Home<\/strong><br \/>\nStop cold air from infiltrating your home by air sealing it properly. The easiest way to look for leaks is to check doors and windows by hand. You\u2019ll be able to feel the cold air seeping in through unsealed spots. Also, step outside and close the door behind you when handing out treats on All Hallows\u2019 Eve. This will prevent heat from escaping and cold air from getting in.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Keep Energy Vampires at Bay<\/strong><br \/>\nVampires really do exist! Energy vampires are electronics that continue to draw power when on standby mode. Some examples include: TVs, DVD players, gaming consoles, battery chargers and stereos. This usage costs the average American household $100 a year. Don\u2019t let energy vampires get the better of you this Halloween \u2013 use a power strip or unplug devices when not using them.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Engage the Power of Energy Efficient Light<\/strong><br \/>\nNothing fights darkness better than energy efficient light bulbs! One of the easiest and most cost-effective ways to lower energy bills is by replacing traditional incandescent light bulbs with energy efficient compact fluorescent light bulbs (CFLs). Most of the energy used by incandescent bulbs results in heat generation rather than light. CFLs use far less energy, emit less heat and generate the same amount of light.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Reach for the Sun<\/strong><br \/>\nScare off any creatures of the night that may be lurking around your outdoor space by tapping into the awesome power of the sun\u2019s energy. Outdoor solar lighting is easy to install, affordable and virtually maintenance-free. You can choose from a wide range of pathway lighting, wall-mounted lights, freestanding lampposts and security lights.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Water \u2013 Your Secret Weapon<\/strong><br \/>\nEfficient water use can prove to be deadly to both witches and water bills. Installing low-flow showerheads and faucets can help you achieve water savings of up to anywhere from 25-60%. Leaky faucets could be costing you more money than you realize, so make sure to fix them ASAP!<\/p>\n<p>Hot water leaking at 1 drip per second adds up to 1,661 gallons of water wasted in a year.\u00a01,661 gallons of water works out to approximately $35 in wasted energy costs.<\/p>\n<p>For more information regarding this post, please visit <a href=\"http:\/\/www.resnet.us\/library\/dont-let-high-energy-bill-haunt-halloween\/\">Resnet.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>B W Electric has been serving the Southern Illinois area for over 10 years.
