Fall Safety Tips

Fall has arrived, whether we are ready for it or not.

And with that comes the summer projects that we try and finish up during the milder weather.  

Here are a few common sense tips just to remind you to think safety as you finish up the projects.

• Never use water or blower extensions to clean gutters near electric lines.
• When planting trees or shrubs, be sure there are no underground lines in the area.  Call 811 at least two working days prior to digging.
• Never trim or climb trees near power lines.
• Keep flagpoles and long handled tools away from overhead power lines. 

 

Like I said, just a few common sense tips, to keep you safe this fall!

Protect Your Money, Eliminate the Power Thieves

Do you remember as a child, being told to turn the lights off? Or, Why is the TV on, no one is in there watching it? Now as an adult, you are probably telling those in your household the same thing.

Did you know that there are many items in your home that are power vampires?

Believe it or not, many electronic devices which make our life easier & more entertaining use power, even when shut off.

Standby power consumption accounts for about 8% of household electricity in the United States. And this could cost the consumer about $110.00 a year.

You can eliminate those thieves, if you just know where to look.

Cell phone chargers are a big one. Even if your phone isn’t plugged into it, it is still drawing power if it is plugged into the wall.

Any device with a power indicator, that glows when it is off is a potential thief. Coffee makers, computers, gaming systems etc. If you aren’t using them, unplug them!

Same goes for TV’s, alarm clocks & other items in seldom used rooms, such as a guest room.

Plug clustered electronics into a power strip so you can turn them all off with one switch.

Also look for the Energy Star label on the products you buy. These generally use less standby energy because they are designed to be more energy efficient. You can visit the Energy Star Website to obtain more information on being Energy Smart.
