Vampire Power

If you have concerns regarding consumption, please check your home for items that are plugged in but are not in use. Items that are plugged in, but are not in use, may still use what is called “vampire power”. This means that these devices consume electricity in “stand-by” mode, even if they are not in use. By taking a quick look around your home, and in outbuildings such as shops, sheds, or barns, you may find items that may be contributing to higher than needed consumption. 

 

You can also plug electronics into a power bar and switch off the power bar when they are not in use to clamp down on “vampire” power usage.
