Part 1 of 2

If you don’t unplug these 5 devices around the house, your electricity bill could end up doubling.
Desktop Computer

A desktop computer, especially when hooked up to peripherals like a monitor, speakers, and a printer, still uses power even when it’s not being used. If you leave it in standby mode instead of turning it off completely, it continues to drain electricity. Make sure to unplug your computer and its peripherals when you’re not using them to save on energy.
Microwave

Your microwave not only uses electricity when it’s running, but it also draws a small amount of power while on standby. If you aren’t planning to use it for a while, it’s best to unplug it to avoid wasting power.
