It’s easy to see your energy bills take a toll when operating your business from a home office. With heating costs in the winter and electricity bills from your A/C unit in the summer, it is increasingly important to save money wherever you can. However, aside from the well-known energy hogs around the house, there are some that you probably aren’t taking advantage of.
