Costs of energy are rising in the US, exacerbated by record-high summer temperatures and heat waves. Small actions can lead to reductions in monthly energy bills. Adjusting the thermostat can save 3% on cooling costs for each degree raised. Unplugging multiple devices can save nearly $200 annually, especially for TVs, printers, and gaming consoles. TVs can save $2 to $6 per year, while idle printers can add $3 to $8 annually. Gaming consoles consume extra power in standby mode, costing around $1 monthly.
Unplugging multiple devices when not in use can lead to significant savings on energy bills, potentially reaching almost $200 a year, depending on local rates.
Simply unplugging TVs that aren't in daily use could save between $2 and $6 a year for each one, contributing to overall energy savings.
A printer left plugged in can cost between $3 and $8 a year when idle, making it another valuable candidate for unplugging.
Gaming consoles in standby mode can consume between 1.5W and 10W, leading to nearly a dollar per month in standby power costs.
