Energy prices in the US are rising due to summer heat. Simple actions beyond turning off lights can reduce monthly energy bills. Raising the thermostat by 1°F can save 3% on cooling costs. Unplugging idle devices like TVs, gaming consoles, and printers contributes to savings. Each unplugged TV can save $2 to $6 annually, while printers can cost $3 to $8 per year when plugged in. Gaming consoles can add up to a dollar monthly in standby power.
"Unplugging a single device may not yield significant savings, but unplugging multiple devices can collectively save you almost $200 a year, depending on local rates."
"You can save 3% on cooling costs for every 1°F increase in your thermostat. Simple habits can lead to noticeable savings on energy bills."
