According to an expert, any appliance that remains plugged in uses electricity / photo pixabayIf you want to save money on your electricity consumption, there are some appliances that can be turned off to help you. Most people don’t realize that many household appliances continue to consume energy even when they are simply plugged in without being used, writes the Express.That’s why Domestic and General expert Dan talked about the “biggest culprits” that need a lot of energy, so you won’t waste lights and money this winter.
“Any device that remains plugged in uses electricity. Even in sleep or standby mode, some devices continue to use energy to update, connect to remote servers, and record data,” the expert explained.
TelevisionsIn particular, Dan advises to make sure that you turn off the TV properly at night, as it continues to use energy by sending a signal to the remote control.
“TVs are definitely one of the worst vampire devices in your home. In standby mode, TVs are ready to receive a signal from the remote control to turn on at any moment,” the expert emphasized.
In addition, if other devices are connected to the TV, for example, a set-top box or a game console, then they also consume energy unnecessarily. Therefore, turning off this device can significantly save your budget when paying for utilities.
Microwave ovensMicrowave ovens are among the worst energy consumers in the kitchen, as they continue to draw energy to keep the control panel and clock powered.
“A microwave oven may not belong to those devices that are in standby mode. But they still consume energy to show the clock and wait for commands,” the expert noted.
Clothes dryers Dan always recommends that people check that you turn off the clothes dryer.
“Your tumble dryer is an appliance you probably don’t use every day. Unplug it and save money,” he advised.
DishwashersDishwashers use a lot of energy to heat the water and heat the heating element, so it is extremely important to turn them off properly after the dishes have been washed, the expert noted.
Other tips for saving lightIt also became known what temperature is best to set on the boiler in order to save money. According to experts, the optimal mode is the range from 50 to 60 degrees.
