Most people don’t realise that just one computer, shut down but not turned off at the power point could cost hundreds of dollars a year. The same goes for TVs and entertainment systems. Looking at the average home nowadays there are multiple appliances that are left on standby and still consuming power. This could add up to in excess of $500 for the average household, every year.
Of course you could, each evening, crawl around reaching behind televisions and computers to switch them off at the power point and then repeat the process next morning to turn them all back on. But who is going to do that?
A much simpler solution is to grab yourself a pack of remote control switches for power points. They are inexpensive, easy to install yourself and most systems allow you to turn off individual appliances, or use the “all off” button to switch everything off just before you go to bed.
A simple solution that will save you hundreds of dollars a year off your power bill.
