Our electronic devices suck power even when we’re not using them. It’s called “Vampire Power”. A quick and easy way to cut down on this excess usage is to connect multiple devices to a power strip/surge protector. Then, at night or when you leave the house, you have only one switch to flick that will cut down on your usage immensely. Check out this chart to figure out how much excess energy your electronics use.

If you want to save electricity automatically, consider getting a Smart TV and Audio Standby saver, which automatically turns of peripheral devices when the main device has been switched off. e.g. switching off your speakers and printer when your PC is powered down.
