Turn Off Electronic Devices That You Are Not Using |
|
|
In your office, while not using your equipment (ex. fax machine, scanner, printer, etc.) keep these items turned off or in "sleep" mode, until ready to use and turn off immediately after each use. You'll save yourself several dollars a year on your power bill, plus extending the life of each machine.

Editor's Note: Some appliances draw power as long as they are plugged in, even if they are turned off. You can use a power consumption counter to determine how much power appliances are using on and off. We purchased one called "Kill A WATT" and have been trying it out on various appliances.

RE: Turn Off Electronic Devices That You Are Not Using
A few years ago while in So.Cal an electric company
did on air audit of a home and surprise the biggest
electric sucker, a plugged in electric toothbrush.
It was the only thing that they said is always sucking
electric even in off position while plugged in.
