Switch off standby

Appliances left on standby still use around 85% of energy to keep them powered down. Leaving appliances on standby also significantly reduces the life of your appliances long-term.

Appliances like mobile phone, laptop and iPod chargers, still consume power when plugged into the wall, even when switched off at the plug. Simply switching off and unplugging items on standby is a great way to be more energy efficient and helps save around £30 a year in energy savings.

Larger items like televisions will consume more power, so if you can switch it off, you’ll be in for some sweet savings.

Don’t waste it, switch it off
