Bright idea to get smart about power usage in the home

Kya deLongchamps plugs in and offers tips on how to cut down on your electricity bill while keeping warm and cosy during winter months.

Comparing our electricity antics at home to other Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development countries (OECD), we are relatively well behaved.

Yet, Americans for all of that fuse-popping usage, pay only €100 more than we do per annum, on average.
