(4) Simple Tips To Reduce Energy Consumption For Electronics

Electronic devices such as your PC, DVD or TV do not use much energy by themselves. However, if we use them steadily over long periods of time, this small amounts begin to add up. The effect? Your energy bill rises another $50 a month - even though you can safely cut this amount by half if only you follow those simple tips.

1)Never leave your computer on if you can turn it off. If you have two PCs at home and they are running all the time, you will be charged around $100 a month for the electricity they use. Once upon a time people left their computers in order to prolong their usable life, much they way tank crews during WWII left their tank engines running all the time. These times are over. It means that tanks can be started up any time as well as your PC without fear of damaging anything.

2)Plug off your mobile phone charger when you don't recharge it. The same is true for all kinds of chargers. In the US such activity costs us 8,000,000,000 dollars a year. Plug your charger right before you need it and unplug it as soon as your cell phone's battery is full.

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)Keep in mind that seemingly similar devices may need various amounts of energy. Generally, look for the Energy Star mark - it means that the device is considered energy-efficient and uses up to a third of energy needed to power the gadgets without the Energy Star.
