Today we are sharing quick tips to cut your home's standby power usage. Unplug devices like phone chargers and small appliances when you are not using them because even when switched off they can drain power. Another effective method is to group your electronics on a power strip that has an on-off switch or a built-in timer. This way you can easily turn off televisions, computers, and cable boxes completely when they are not in use. Using smart power strips or surge protectors with timers can simplify the process and help automatically cut the power. It is also worthwhile to conduct an energy audit using a watt-meter to discover which devices are the biggest culprits for phantom power. Finally, when shopping for new electronics, look for products carrying the Energy Star label, as these models are designed to use less energy in standby mode. With these simple changes, you can lower your energy bills and reduce wasted electricity.
