You may not realize it but even when our appliances and devices are powered off but still plugged in, they are using power. This is known as “vampire electronics”.
And this can have significant impact on a consumer’s wallet. Vampire electronics can add more than $100 per year to your electricity bills.

Simply unplug
If you are not using an appliance, turn it off and unplug it from the wall.

Limit idle time
Switch your computer to sleep mode from “ON” when you are away

Use power strips
Turn off multiple electronic devices with just one switch.

Set your entertainment system to shut off automatically when it’s not in use.
