Many people don’t think about the fact that some household appliances consume a lot of electricity.
Accordingly, you have to pay more.
But why overpay when you can save money – if you at least unplug them from the socket at night.
Or for the time when we are not using these devices.
You say that the standby mode saves? Not really, because even in this state, devices still consume energy and “thicken” our fat bills.
Among the most "gluttonous" devices is the satellite set-top box. And in the aforementioned standby mode, it also "eats" energy.
Therefore, the device should be disconnected from the mains if you do not plan to watch TV in the near future.
The computer in standby mode also continues to be “saturated” with electricity.
If you use it, it would be best for your wallet to turn it off completely.
Game consoles – like the previous two devices, continue to consume electricity in standby mode (many have one).
Experts have calculated that such set-top boxes can account for up to 6% of all electricity costs.
The recommendation is still the same: if the set-top box is not in use, it is best to unplug it from the socket.
