In the summer we are always with air conditioners – even though they do not consume as much as we think – and in the winter we are always with heating and increasing prices. I’m looking for a way to cut down on my electricity bill.. Although fortunately we are no longer like we were a few years ago, it is always good to find a way to save money.

A little bit here, a little bit there, it turns out there is an energy expenditure at home that you may not know about but that exists and exists. And that is the best way to avoid it (with curiosity) It’s called ‘vampire consumption’.

What is vampire consumption or standby energy consumption?

An official guide published by the Chilean Ministry of Energy in 2022 draws attention to vampire consumption or reserve consumption, defining it as follows: “Electricity produced by devices that are still plugged in and consuming energy when turned off“This is an avoidable expense.”“It accounts for more than 9% of the average electricity bill.”

Therefore approximately Energy consumption of devices while connected to light and in standby mode‘ Even if they are not in operation. These include microwave ovens, televisions, computers, consoles, music systems, etc.

We are talking about devices that do not turn off completely, but instead remain in standby mode ready to start quickly when we press the button, thus eliminating the need to restart them. For example, the television has the classic red light when it is turned off by the remote control, while the microwave oven has a digital clock.

What is the household appliance that vampires use the most?

According to Infobae, television” One of the most used devices in homes, it is also one of the most energy consuming devices in standby mode.“. Current Smart TVs work with the ‘always ready’ concept, like game consoles. And even if they are theoretically turned off, they keep some functions that require electricity active.

These features include automatic operating system updates, internet connection, and quick start-up with a remote control. The power consumption of a television in standby mode varies depending on the model and brand, average is between 0.5 and 3 watts. It doesn’t seem like much, but if you keep the TV on standby day and night, it’s a long drain.

To give you an idea, various studies estimate that televisions in standby mode can consume between 2.25% and 5% of the energy they would use when they were on.

How can I risk vampire consumption?

It’s that simple to end the vampire or wait for consumption unplug all appliances and devices when you’re not using them, as mentioned above. Unless you’re using the microwave or air fryer more than once a day, or even if you’re not using it at all, don’t keep them plugged in all the time. The same goes for the TV. Only plug it in when you go to see it.

We know that installing and removing spark plugs every day can be tiring, so in my case you can opt for the trick I usually do: connect these devices to an extension cord with a button. You will eliminate the consumption of many devices by simply pressing or unplugging the extension cord.
