Energy vampires? Tell me more ….

You see the Energy Star label when shopping, but what does it really mean? Does it really help the environment?

Surely you’ve noticed by now the little star emblem on many electronics and appliances. This emblem is the seal of the Energy Star program that promotes conservation and a healthy environment.

In lieu of the push toward environmental sustainability, as well as the need to save every penny, the demand and use of the Energy Star program is skyrocketing.

So, you go to shop for new gadgets, devices and appliances and you see Energy Star labels everywhere, but you don’t know what they mean. You may know you’re making a good choice for the environment and for your electric bill, but what’s the big deal?

For anyone looking to green his or her home in a serious way, installing a solar water heater may be a good first step.
