Common conclusions
After a long day of watching television, you should not forget to unplug it from the outlet to save energy. Even If you have turned it off, it is still on standby. Much better if you turn it off at the switch.
Leaving your computer or even laptops plugged in even when not in use will make a significant leap on your electric bill. Always turn off and unplug your desktop computers, especially if there are printers and speakers attached.
If you have modems or routers at home, don't forget to unplug them when not in use. It is sometimes overlooked as they are tucked away, but they must be turned off at the wall to avoid power surges and save energy.
Often, a microwave is unrecognizable; usually the least remembered to unplug, as it is only used for a short time. It's one of the most energy-consuming appliances, so unplugging it can make a difference on your electric bill for a month.
If you have a stereo system at home that you use every day for watching movies or playing music, be mindful about unplugging it from the main switch, as it may take up too much power if left plugged in.
Using an air conditioner is a high cost, mainly if used for 24 hours. If you only have fans at home, make sure to unplug it still when not in use.
Large appliances are energy-consuming, such as washers and dryers, making it necessary to unplug every after use. You can also choose to use a power strip so that you can just quickly turn it off when the laundry is done.
If you don’t have many large appliances at home focus on unplugging small appliances and electronics when not used to save energy.
