Let's start with a tried-and-true classic. According to the Energy Saving Trust, gadgets plugged in on standby account for between 9% and 16% of UK residential energy use.
This might cost us roughly £86 each year, according to estimates. You are not only helping the environment by turning off your appliances when you are not using them, but you are also saving money.*
The older an item gets, the less energy efficient it is, according to this study. If you're on a tight budget, upgrading all of your appliances like kettles, TVs, and speakers is unlikely.
Unplugging them – or, better yet, turning off the plug when not in use – is a simple approach to make a difference.
