Do you know that household appliances are able to lead a "secret" life and continue to work even after you have pressed on "off"? Adme.ru figured out which electronics is distinguished by special "racingness" and continues to consume energy, even if we turned it off.
Charging without a phone
The charger continues to consume electricity, even when the gadget is not connected to it. True, it affects our budget little, because the power of such a device is simply meager.
Digital TV Prefix
The prefixes for digital television continue to work after duty shutdown and "wound up" energy about 30 rubles per year.
True, many of us do not even translate such consoles into standby mode, limited only to the TV shutdown. Because of this, the total cost increases 5 times.
Television
It turns out that by pressing the "OFF" button on the remote, we do not turn off the TV, and translate it into sleep mode? In such a state, it consumes energy about 30 rubles per year.
Computers and laptops
Even in the off mode, computers and laptops continue to work. Therefore, turning off them out of the outlet, you can save about 120 rubles per year on electricity.
Those who usually leave a computer in sleep mode can multiply this figure by about 1.5.
Technique with a timer
Such a low-cost detail, as a working timer, suggests that the device on which it is located, continues to consume electricity. Turning out such equipment from the outlet, you save more than 130 rubles per year.
Should I turn off?
Someone the numbers above are not impressive, but to someone, on the contrary, will seem very convincing.
