I do this too, because some items still use electricity when technically not in use. For example, I always unplug any chargers or other small devices that we don't really think about. I unplug most lamps and fans when not in use. It saves a lot of money.
Doesnt save a ton of nothing. Thats crap I know for sure. You know it takes more energy to start up a electric device then just leaving it plugged in.Same goes for cars. i hate when my girl turn her car off when im in the car and she goes in store for a few mintues or we pick somebody up. it takes more gas to restart the car rather then leaving it on.
leaving items plugged in will have a min effect on your bill as long as its turn off. laptops, xboxes etc takes maybe $30 a year to run.
Might of fact lets do facts and math! A fridge such as a energy star fridge takes Annual Cost to Operate* $38
Estimated Lifetime Cost to Operate** $462. $462 lifetime! $38 a year
So $38 /365= about 0.11 cents a day to run a fridge. Now a fridge probably uses most energy. Do yaw really thinking unplugging items overnight will save anytype of money?
Best ways to save is turn down water heater and replace your lights with them newer whitelight bulbs..
I worry about yaw younger generation geez.. turning of electricity overnight saves pennies and does not save alot of money
