The dangers of leaving this device plugged in unattended

Whether you’re going away for a day or for a long period of time, some electrical appliances continue to use energy unnecessarily, increasing your bills and posing a risk to your safety. Find out why unplugging a particular appliance is crucial to saving energy and keeping you safe.

A simple way to reduce your electricity bill

With energy prices rising, it is essential to adopt economical behaviours to reduce your expenses. Many pieces of equipment remain on standby, resulting in unnecessary electricity consumption. Among the most greedy, we can mention:

Phone chargers left plugged in
Televisions and consoles in standby mode
Coffee makers and other small appliances
Computers and printers

The main culprit? The phone charger! Even without a connected phone, it continues to draw power. This phantom consumption may seem small, but over the course of a year, it represents several dollars wasted unnecessarily.

Tip: Opt for a power strip with a switch to easily turn off all your devices with a single gesture.
