I really liked this article. Especially the stress on uplugging vampire electronics. I have all electronics going into a power strip that I turn off any time I leave the house for more than an hour.

If you like my article, please give it a like or feel free to share it :-) The second article shows how traditional foam is often a culprit and by using spray foam in these places can really add up in energy savings.
