8 devices that “steal” energy in your home and you don’t even know it

Computers in sleep mode still consume electricity. Add connected accessories like printers and speakers, and the drain increases.

Recommendation:

Shut down and unplug the system if you’re not going to use it for a while.

What to do:

Unplug them or use a power strip if you don’t use them daily.

Solution:

Unplug them at night or plug them into a smart outlet for better control.
