‘Tis the Season to be Energy Smart
Nov 08, 2011
Displays of bright, twinkling lights — both inside and outside the home — have become a seasonal tradition. But while decorative lights add to the spirit of the holidays, using just one strand of incandescent holiday lights can add up to $10 to your monthly energy costs. The more lights you use, the more it costs, which can cause even the heartiest of holiday revelers to say “Bah, humbug!” when the energy bill arrives in January.

Don’t Be Left in the Dark if the Power Goes Out
Sep 14, 2011
Many people think of ‘emergencies’ in terms of fires and earthquakes, but as we saw recently, there are a number of reasons we could experience a power outage. Storms, high winds, traffic accidents, planned system upgrades, and even transmission line failures, like the one that happened on September 8, can cause the lights to go out — along with gas pumps, ATM machines, and anything else that relies on electricity.
What steps can you take to avoid being left in the dark if the power goes out?
