Energy Saving Tips: Switch Off Standby Appliances

Energy Saving Tips: Switch Off Standby Appliances

You can save around $120 a year just by remembering to turn your appliances off standby mode.

Almost all electrical and electronic appliances can be turned off at the plug without upsetting their programming. You may want to think about getting a standby saver which allows you to turn all your appliances off standby in one go.

Check the instructions for any appliances you aren’t sure about. Some satellite and digital TV recorders may need to be left plugged in so they can keep track of any programming you want to record.

This is the energy used by certain appliances when not in use and not switched off at the plug. As well as standby power, other new additions to the average household’s collection of electrical goods such as broadband modems, broadband routers and telephones use low levels of electricity when not in use.

These are not items that we tend to think to turn off, but can gradually go on to consume a great deal of electricity over the year. For instance, a broadband modem router can consume a considerable amount of energy worth of electricity if left on for the entire year.

Energy Saving Tips: Switch Off Standby Appliances

Fortunately there are a number of products available to help cut down your standby electricity consumption, such as standby savers that allow you to turn all your appliances off standby in one go. Some come with timers and others come with a single off-switch.

Whilst the average standby consumption of new products is going down, households are being filled with more and more electronic gadgets, so it is still worth looking at your standby energy usage.

In conclusion, we can make an impact on our electric bill by just making adjustments on not leaving electronics on standby mode. Simple changes around the house may help reduce the unnecessary electricity consumption.
