How2 Save on Power Costs


In one word - "Unplug"


Did you know.. Cable and satellite set-top boxes use about the same electricity, whether or not they’re switched on, even more than your fridge.



Many home electronics, including many audio/video components - chargers, microwaves, your TV – they all sip on electricity when switched to off or standby and you’re fast asleep at midnight.
Your cheapest and simplest solution is to unplug your devices – including that cable box – when you’re not watching TV.
Another option is to buy a special power bar from your electronics shop that will automatically kill power to connected devices when they’re turned off.
