There are certain appliances that are best to unplug them completely when it comes to your electricity bills.
Homeowners might be surprised to discover the number of devices they have plugged in around their house that don't need to be, especially when considering the cost of living crisis.
He highlighted that certain appliances still consume electricity even when not in use, which is an unnecessary expense during these financially challenging times. Moreover, to achieve maximum energy-saving benefits, it's often necessary to unplug these items completely, reports the Express. You may be puzzled as to why these specific appliances are the most costly to leave on standby, but Ian clarifies that these devices suck up a lot of energy to work.
The expert further explained: "Any appliance that's still switched on or that stays plugged into a live socket, is using an electric current." Ian warned: "Whilst fridge freezers contribute around 12 percent to a household energy bill, you shouldn't turn off or unplug this before a holiday as this will cause the fridge to defrost and also potentially result in a smelly kitchen."
