(4) Simple Tips To Reduce Energy Consumption For Electronics

By: Andrew John

If you want to save as much energy as you can, there is one more thing you can do once you have optimized the heating and cooling systems, kitchen appliances and laundry routines. This thing is your electronic appliances. While most of them is thought to use only a trickle of energy, the total amount of electricity needed to power them is considerable.

1)Turn your PC on only if you need to work on it. Switch it off once you're done. The common misconception is that a PC uses so much energy while starting up that it is cheaper to keep it on all the time. This used to be true in times before the first Apple was created. Now PCs use only a bit more power during the startup. While turning your PC on and off every fifteen minutes will certainly add to your energy bill, an hour or two is long enough to switch your PC off and let it rest a bit.

2)Battery and cell phone chargers should be plugged off as soon as you finish charging them. The change will not be large for your family budget, but keeping the chargers plugged is practically begging your electricity provider to charge you this $5 a month more for no reason. If you feel like having $5 dollars too much, you can give them to some charity, not a local power plant!

3)Remember that all electronic appliances which you can turn off via remote really go to the standby mode and they keep using energy when "asleep." The only way to prevent it is to unplug them. While it is only a trickle of energy, everything adds up!

4)The Energy Star certification is important! Those appliances which received it use up to 70% energy less than their counterparts. Generally, it is unwise to buy those appliances which are not marked as energy-efficient. It is practically begging for high energy bills.
