Don't leave it on standby
Leaving appliances plugged in and switched on at the socket means they’re still using energy – so turn TVs, games consoles and mobile phone chargers off at the mains to save yourself money.
A television in standby mode can use up to as much as half the electricity as when it is switched on.
Turning your computer off at night instead of leaving it on will save on average 25% of its annual energy bill. Remember you should turn off your computer whenever you are not going to use it for more than an hour.
Turning things off when you’re not using them is the cheapest and easiest way of all to save money and reduce your carbon footprint.
