Typically, there are devices that a lot of families never unplug from the power outlet to cut off the power supply. Many people thinks that this is very normal and if we do not use the device but keep it plugged in, it will not waste electricity. This point of view is completely wrong!
According to the experience shared by long-time electricians, one of the common causes of wasting electricity is not unplugging electrical appliances when not in use. The electrician warns that the 4 devices below are the ones that everyone should consider immediately to save electricity effectively!
1. The TV
The more modern the smart TV is, the more electricity it can consume to maintain the network connection. So unplugging the TV when not in use is an economical and energy-saving way.
The TV is not completely turned off although we have pressed the Off button on the remote control. Even if not used, if the plug is not unplugged, the TV is still in standby mode, there is always an electric current running inside to maintain functions such as timer, software update, channel memory, etc.
