Energy Vampires - Lower Energy Bill

Ameren Illinois: http://www.actonenergy.com

The Ameren Illinois Utilities remind you to be on the lookout for energy vampires—sneaky little devices like cell phone chargers and appliances that are in your house right now and stealing your electricity. In fact, there may be one lurking beside you right now! Garlic will not keep these vampires away, and you can leave that hammer and stake in the garage. Energy vampires are immune to those tools, but they are deathly afraid of one thing—being turned off! These days, things like televisions, VCRs, DVD players and stereos dont know the meaning of the word off. Thats because even when they are off, they continue to draw power so that they can be turned on instantly. Other energy vampires are chargers for wireless tools, microwaves, coffee makers and other appliances.
