We are always looking for solutions to pay less monthly, but sometimes we do not pay attention to the little things and they can make all the difference. For example, did you know that\u00a0energy\u00a0enemies are right under our nose? Specifically, there are devices that consume power even when they are turned off. Do you always keep your phone charger plugged in? Well, it\u00a0is burning energy even if you do not charge your phone. And that’s just an example. In addition to the phone charger, there are\u00a0other electronic devices that consume power even when they are not operating. In this regard, we have\u00a0listed below 5 devices that consume\u00a0energy even when they are tuerned off. Check the list and answer honestly: how many of them do you leave\u00a0plugged in\u00a0non stop?<\/p>\n

5 devices that burn energy even when they are turned off<\/h2>\n

Phone charger\u00a0<\/strong>– as said above, this is one of the devices that consume\u00a0energy even when you are not using it. Thus,\u00a0it consumes about 1.2w per day, if it plugged in but you are not charging your phone;<\/p>\n

TV tuner<\/strong> – if it is just turned off, not disconnected, it consumes about 22w \/ day;<\/p>\n

TV<\/strong> – when you press the power button, do you think the TV is turned off? Apparently,\u00a0this only\u00a0sends the\u00a0TV to\u00a0standby mode\u00a0and continues to consume an average of 24 watts per day;<\/p>\n

Laptop<\/strong> – 9 out of 10 people let the laptop plug in, even if they do not use it for days, and it onsumes\u00a0about 96 watts per day;<\/p>\n

Any electric device with a\u00a0timer<\/strong> –\u00a0 it can be a microwave\u00a0or an over\u00a0with an electronic display, for example. To limit your electricity consumption, unplug the oven and save 108w per day.<\/p>\n

Apart from the fact that they\u00a0burn energy\u00a0even when they are turned off, it is advisable to\u00a0unplug the appliances fr because\u00a0 electrical networks may have surges and this can lead to quite serious incidents.<\/p>\n
