Energy vampires (aka phantom loads) are appliances that are continually sucking electricity even when they are turned off. Appliances may appear off but if they are plugged in, the standby mode is still thirsty for energy.

According to the Department of Energy, Energy Vampires drain 4-5% of the energy in an average home, which adds up to approximately $92 per year in the average household and $4 billion a year in the US combined. This energy wasted equals roughly 52 billion kWH per year, which is equivalent to 26 average sized power plants, and is the source of 1% of the US CO2 emissions each year (1996-2013 Salt River Project (SRP) and 2008 Good Magazine LLC).

To identify these suckers, try turning off your lights and looking around. Standby lights are signs energy is draining, even though the product isn't in use. Want to know what kind of energy vampires are in your home? Check out this calculator and see how much money you could be saving.

Grace is All In Energy's Field Outreach Manager and Customer Action Coordinator! Having asthma her entire life, she never knew she could learn to love running. Clean energy is important to Grace because when we are energy efficient, nobody loses. Residents save energy and money, companies receive tax credits, the state reaches their goal, and climate change is mitigated. Grace is motivated to participate because at first, she thought to herself, "maybe I can't do this." But then she realized she'd rather complete the race dead last than not run it at all. She learned through preparing for the half-marathon that she has become more tenacious in her goals she wants to accomplish.

Her role at All In Energy was being a Neighborhood Outreach Representative where she served the Chelsea community and helped connect residents to the MassSave Program.

Jordan Moyer, Finance, Administration and Human Resources Fellow
Jordan is 19 and from Beaver Falls, Pennsylvania, which is located just outside of Pittsburgh. She is currently a sophomore at the University of New Hampshire’s Peter T. Paul College of Business and Economics. She will graduate with a degree in Business Administration with a focus in Accounting and a dual major in Sustainability. She was placed as an intern with All In Energy through the Semester in the City Program with the College for Social Innovation.

Initially, Jordan began her college career with the intention of choosing a dual major outside of Business Administration. However, just this past spring, Jordan decided on adding a dual major in Sustainability. This decision came mostly from her university efforts to have a more eco-friendly campus, as well as their focus on this topic in many of her business courses throughout her freshman year. Jordan is hopeful that her internship this fall at All In Energy will allow her to see more of how her background in business can eventually lead her to be a person of value in companies who are also interested in the same goal of environmental well-being.

In her free time, this past summer Jordan has been working with Bawtin, a marketing and business development company located in Lynchburg, Virginia. There, she was the report manager and developed a fluid reporting system for multiple companies. Jordan is looking forward to growing in both her knowledge of clean energy and the inner workings of a business.​
