Hi there

With Easter approaching and many of us still spending lots of time indoors, you might be looking for a family-friendly activity that can be completed from the comfort of your home over the long weekend.

Luckily, Loop's here to help! Instead of a traditional chocolate egg hunt, try our Easter ‘Phantom Load’ hunt – the energy-saving equivalent that could help you save as much as £450 on your household bills!

Challenge participants to find Phantom Load culprits around the house, with a prize awarded for each one they find and you'll reap the benefits too. 

If every household reduced their Phantom Load by £140, the carbon emissions saved would equate to taking 2.8 million cars off the road. Just by turning stuff off! 

Let the hunt begin!
