As the days lengthen and the nights get colder, home energy bills begin rising along with questions about cutting their costs: What's an energy audit, and do I need one? What's this "phantom load" I keep hearing about that supposedly wastes electricity even when my computer and other appliances are turned off? When should we consider trading our old hot-water heater for a new, energy-efficient model?
