This was my Electricity Bill… On Average: $ kWh

Electricity Bill: After eliminating Phantom loads and installing CFL lightbulbs $195 (1160 kWh)

Electricity Bill: $113 (690 kWh) After using fans instead of A/C in 3 rooms

Electricity Bill: After installing a Solar Water Heater $74 (400 kWh)

Electric Appliances use up electricity even when turned OFF! This is called Phantom Loads!!

Some examples Sum of the phantom loads is 55W, which is 40 kWh/mo!

Save $10 to $50 a month: by unplugging electric devices every time not in use. Use a power strip to connect several appliances, then turn them all at once.
