UK homes waste 16% of their energy – or £1.3 billion from doemstic homes – on unneeded lighting and appliances left on standby. The worst offenders (according to the Energy Saving Trust) are these – and switching off could save most households £86 each year:
– Desktop computers
– Laser printers
– TV and satellite boxes
– DVD players
– Games consoles
– Microwaves
– fridge freezers (a eco-freezer could save you £100 each year)
– Washing machines
– Transformers and power packs
– Mobile phone chargers
