A very simple and effective way to save energy in your home is to say good bye to Stand-by on your TV and other electrical appliances.
The Government says that the average UK household wastes ?37 a year just by leaving their electrical appliances on stand-by.
It can be a hard habit to break, but if you switch off your TVs, stereos, radios and any other electrical items that have a stand-by feature off at the wall, you will save yourself money and reduce your energy usage at the same time.
Leaving electrical appliances switched on also poses a potential fire risk, so it makes sense all round to turn your TV and other items off at the wall.
