Even when the charger is not connected to the phone, it still draws standby power when plugged into an outlet. Many people have the habit of leaving chargers plugged in for convenience when charging their phones. However, this practice leads to unnecessary energy consumption for your household.
On average, a continuously plugged-in phone charger can consume up to 1.2 W/day. This is one of the main culprits contributing to increasing daily electricity bills.
2. Timer devices
Timer devices also contribute to higher energy consumption in your home. By unplugging these devices, you can avoid wasting up to $114 annually.
3. Computers, TVs
Even when turned off, TVs can still add $22 to your annual electricity bill. If the digital TV controller hasn't been completely disconnected from the power source, it will continue to function.
Turning off the TV doesn't completely cut off power; it switches to standby mode.
Even when turned off, computers can still consume an extra $100 annually. That's why you should unplug them from the power outlet after use.
