If you are looking into ways to slash some dollars off your power bills by reducing your consumption, the best thing to do is start with switching off the appliances and gadgets that are dormant. When they’re in stand-by mode or switched off but not switched off on the wall socket, they are costing you a lot each year.
If switching them off during the days is a hassle to start with, try starting at night before bed. Do a walkabout around the house and switch them off. To make it even much easier so that you don’t need to try and reach the wall socket under the desk or behind the TV, do what I’m doing: use an EcoSwitch®.
Check out the video before we continue.
So the deal is to insert it between your appliance, gadget or power board and the power outlet (wall socket). Leave the switch in a place where you can easily access, such as on the bedside cabinet if you want to turn off the lamps, telephone chargers and heater before you fall to sleep. Even when the wall socket is on, once you flick the EcoSwitch® off with its green switch it won’t consume any power!
The easy reach EcoSwitch® costs $19.95 and is available to buy online. Play today and you could win yours.
