Switch Off, Not Standby

Don't press that power button on the remote!

The next time you decide to turn off that television or DVD player with your remote, think twice; you may well be contributing unknowingly to your electrical bill.

Vampire power, or the power consumed by electrical devices on standby mode usually takes up a modest amount of power. However, with several of these devices scattered around the home, the amount quickly builds up to a sizable volume of power consumption, which leaves an impact on our monthly bill.

Switch off the mains when the device is not in use instead of leaving it in standby.
