          Representative.  We also offer to our customers the ability to rent a Kill-A-Watt which is a device you can
          plug into the wall and plug your appliances into and it will measure their usage.

          60-100w incandescent bulbs for LEDs that use a fraction of the wattage for the same light dispersal.  Change
          out that old clunker of a washing machine for a new Energy Star rated one.  And the best part?  Besides all
