Is it really that scary? There are several electrical devices that can be left plugged in.
What devices can be left plugged in?
The most popular ones include the following.
1. Refrigerators and freezers usually require a constant electrical connection to maintain low temperatures and keep food fresh.
2. Microwave ovens can be left plugged in as their power consumption is minimal when not in use.
3. Electronic alarm clocks usually consume very little power and can be kept powered at all times to avoid losing the time setting.
4. To maintain an Internet connection in your home, it is best to leave routers and modems connected.

Of course, it is always worth being rational. There is no point in constantly pulling out various equipment from the sockets.
Precautionary measures
There are a few tips you can follow to ensure your home is safe:
• Before deciding to leave the device connected, it is important that the operating instructions do not contain any restrictions on disconnection;
• For added safety, overload protection devices such as fuses or outlets with automatic disconnection can be used.
