Vampire energy may be lurking… switch off your lights and unplug your standby appliances when heading out, so that your night is filled with more treats than tricks! 🎃

Get cozy this fall, without the high energy bill! ⚡️

This season, there are plenty of ways to save energy:
✅ Use energy-efficient products and appliances
✅ Seal your home to prevent drafts
✅ Wash clothes in cold water
✅ Unplug devices when they’re not in use
✅ Consider going solar
...and more! 🌞
