Unplugging These 7 Common Household Devices Helps Reduce Electricity Bill Save Money Monthly..

If you're wondering why your electricity bill is so high, let us tell you that many plugged-in appliances in your home are increasing your electricity bill. In fact, nowadays, everything from ACs to fans, TVs to refrigerators is controlled by remotes. Therefore, people often assume that appliances turned off by remote control are actually turned off and not consuming any electricity. However, the exact opposite is true. Appliances turned off by remote control simply go into standby mode and continue to consume electricity. So, today we're telling you about 7 such items that, by unplugging them, you can save thousands of rupees every month.

TV or Gaming Console
TVs are something that 99% of people only use the remote control. As a result, TVs silently consume electricity. Furthermore, 55- to 65-inch TVs are common in homes these days, and as a result, they have a higher capacity to consume electricity in standby mode. In such a situation, if you unplug the TV immediately after use, you can save a lot of electricity. The same applies to those who use consoles. Consoles are often kept in standby mode so they can resume gaming whenever they want. Unplugging these devices can save a lot of electricity.

Smart Devices or Routers
If you have WiFi or smart devices in your home, you probably never turn them off. There may be many occasions when you're not using either your smart device or WiFi. This is especially true at night. If you want a significant reduction in your electricity bill, turn off such devices at least before bedtime. This will also significantly reduce your electricity bill.

Refrigerator
Yes, you read that right. Refrigerators are also items that should be turned off not only to save electricity but also to prolong their life. In fact, you can do this especially during the winter. If you think that turning off the refrigerator will ruin the contents, that's not true. Any refrigerator can maintain cooling for at least 5 to 6 hours. So, turning off the refrigerator for even 2-3 hours a day will not only save on your electricity bill but also extend the refrigerator's life.

Charger
It's often seen that people leave their mobile or laptop chargers plugged into the wall socket. So, when the mobile phone's battery is low, they immediately connect it to the charger and start charging. These chargers consume a lot of power even when not charging any device. Therefore, unplugging them is a good idea, as it also extends the life of your charger.

Chimney or Microwave
The chimney and microwave are two common kitchen items that people don't often leave unplugged. Both consume significant amounts of electricity. Therefore, if you want to reduce your electricity bill, unplug both the chimney and microwave after use. Keeping them plugged in indeed allows you to access them whenever you need them, but if it helps reduce your electricity bill and increases your efficiency, there's no harm in doing so.

Air Conditioner
If you assume your AC is off simply by turning it off with the remote, that's not true. Even in standby mode, your AC is consuming a significant amount of electricity. Therefore, it's important to turn it off after use.

Fans
Remote-controlled fans are increasingly being used in homes. Therefore, you might find yourself leaving your fan turned off with the remote throughout the winter season. We advise you not to make this mistake. When not in use, turn it off with a switch or regulator. This way, the fan won't continue to drain your pockets while it's not in use.
