Unplugging these 7 common household devices greatly reduced my electricity bill
Briefly

Energy prices in the US are rising due to summer heat. Simple actions beyond turning off lights can reduce monthly energy bills. Raising the thermostat by 1°F can save 3% on cooling costs. Unplugging idle devices like TVs, gaming consoles, and printers contributes to savings. Each unplugged TV can save $2 to $6 annually, while printers can cost $3 to $8 per year when plugged in. Gaming consoles can add up to a dollar monthly in standby power.
Unplugging a single device may not yield significant savings, but unplugging multiple devices can collectively save you almost $200 a year, depending on local rates.
You can save 3% on cooling costs for every 1°F increase in your thermostat. Simple habits can lead to noticeable savings on energy bills.
