Unplug Your Electric Devices
Even if you are diligent about turning off electronic items when you’re not using them, you’re missing out on savings if you leave them plugged in. Plug electronics like video game consoles and televisions into power strips, and unplug the power strips before you go to bed each night. The impact it makes on your power bill might surprise you, since a lot of these devices still use energy to keep the power light on, and go into a “hibernation” mode instead being entirely turned off.
