Hot-tips---insulate-water-heater

Coming soon: On bill financing for Heat Pump Water Heaters.  These super efficient models use heat pump technology by moving heat from one place to another instead of generating heat directly. This makes them two to three times more efficient compared to conventional electric resistance water heaters. Interested? Email [email protected] for more info.

TIP #2:
Hot-Tips---unplug

It’s always a good reminder to unplug electronics that draw a phantom energy load. The best thing to do is to plug all your electronics into a power strip that you can switch on and off. Headed out of town? Switch off all your power strips. So easy!
