Energy vampires lurk in unexpected places: the television, computer, cell phone charger and more. Many electronic devices plugged in continuously use energy even when you are not using them.
Here’s how to save:
• Unplug all electronics that are not in use. Or, plug electronics into a power strip and turn the power strip off when items are not in use.
• Avoid electronics with extra features you don’t need, as these might use more energy.
• Check the label before purchasing. Most Energy Star-endorsed products draw smaller-than-average amounts of electricity when turned off.
• Consider adding timer-equipped power strips.
