i would keep asking them what the bills are, how much have they went up while u have been there and explain things you can do to save them some money, and to keep you posted if the bills decrease any that you know you have done something you did the right way. but all you have to do is turn the bar off, you dont have to unplug it, thats why there is an on off switch. my modem dont shut off unless i turn that bar off, so when i turn the bar off and see all the lights off on the modem, i know its all off. i have four surge bars in my living room, which is where my pc is as well. my pc has one exclusive to its use, my tv/dvd/vcr/cablebox has one, my lamps and lighted cabinet has another. then i have one in the corner, i use that for all my vaccuums and shampooer. i dont reccommend my shampooer tho. it dont do all that gr8, i guess for routine maintence it would be fine, but for whole house use, its not the best. its a bissel quicksteamer. my mom has one too, its twice the size at least of mine and it works gr8, but the small one same size of a regular vaccuum its not so gr8 unless you do a room daily for maintenence. it dont do well on spots, i have tried everything it cleans best wtih he tide tho of all things im using that now it cleans better then bissel or other shampoos, but still the motion of the tiny scrubbers its not doing well, plus it has no attachements for furniture. i have a rainbow and a eureka boss as well. the kids like the eureka its easy for them to use, its like a vaccuum but wtih the dustbuster part. i love my rainbow, i need to find the furniture attachement tho. im need to clean the electrical hose too, any suggestions id love to hear, i take the non electrical to the car wash and spray it out, but im sure i shouldnt do that with the electrical one. the only vaccuum guy here in town charges twice the price for parts, i checked on that wtih rainbow by emailing them and one of their reps calling me on the phone. he reconditions rainbows and sell s them for 500 dollars, i dont feel thats worth it, i wont pay him 100 to clean my hose, so if anyone has a rainbow and has a suggestion id love to hear it.
