Mesa, Arizona and Home Owners Everywhere! Beware of those Vampires!

Are you watching? Are you paying attention? Now that I have your attention, here's the deal: I have a TON of electronic "stuff." I suspect that most of us are aware that even though our computers or other electronic devices are turned "off," but plugged in, they are still drawing power. The electric company refers to them as "vampires."

Computers are among the energy vampires in many homes; however, we can contain their energy appetities by using the new power strips which automatically turn off the printer, scanner and monitor when the computer is shut down. I generally leave mine on, but will rethink the idea of having a vampire in my home.

SRP in the Phoenix, Arizona Valley has a list of retailers who sell these new energy-saving power strips. Visit their website to learn more about our electricity wasters. We all need to conserve.
