In Advance of Earth Day on April 22: ComEd Discount on Advanced Power Strips |
|
With Earth Day approaching soon on April 22, now is a perfect time to improve energy efficiency to save money and energy. One program is the ComEd discount on advanced power strips.
Advanced power strips are an inexpensive way to save energy and money. Some electronic devices, like TVs and computers, draw power when they are plugged in, but not in use. Advanced power strips cut off power when the devices are not in use, which can help the average home save $200 a year in wasted energy costs.
ComEd offers instant discounts of up to $12 on advanced power strips. Find out more about the discounts at: https://bit.ly/3N8VV9D
