Aparatele care consumă energie chiar și atunci când sunt oprite. Ce dispozitive pot crește factura la electricitate

Many household devices consume energy even when turned off, leading to increased electricity bills. This phenomenon, known as standby or phantom consumption, occurs with items like TVs, game consoles, and printers. While modern devices often have low standby power, the cumulative effect of multiple devices can be significant. Energy-saving settings can drastically reduce consumption, especially in gaming consoles. Not all devices are the same; routers, for instance, need to stay connected for internet access. Users can measure energy consumption with a wattmeter and should prioritize unplugging devices that are not in use to save energy.
