I’m not talking about the ectoplasm covered ghouls in the Ghostbuster movies. What I am talking about are the phantom loads that many appliances carry. If you don’t know what a phantom load is, most appliance still use electricity even when not actively in use, we call these phantom loads. By unplugging things like microwaves, coffee pots, televisions and even computers you can save on your electricity bill. While the savings may not add up to a windfall amount, if you couple these cost saving measures with other methods the benefits can be substantial.
