One of the many concerns that we have in these times is in the electricity bill. Energy consumption inevitably rises in winter and we are interested in developing strategies to be able to save energy Y cut spending in electricity. One of the things that we do wrong on a daily basis, due to ignorance or comfort, and that we can solve in a simple way is to stop plugged in devices when it really would not be necessary, generating an extra expense in electrical energy. In order not to go around plugging and unplugging, but at the same time save that energy that we lose in an absurd way, a multiple plug with switchthat we can turn off and disconnect everything that is plugged in at the same time, the one in the cover photo costs 23.99 euros.

mobiles and laptops
Among the devices that most frequently cause us energy losses are undoubtedly mobile and laptop, or computer desktop. In the case of the mobile because as a rule we put it on charge and we left it plugged in all night, when it would come to connect it for much less hours, the same thing happens with tablets on many occasions. In the case of laptops and PCs, the problem lies more in the fact that many times we close them or leave them to sleep but we do not turn them off of everything and although they spend less energy in saving mode than in full power, if we do not turn them off, they consume something and we will have to recharge them before.
TVs and consoles
With respect to TVsince the remote control came into our lives, we got used to turning it on and off with it, which is more comfortable but obviously costs money, the TV in standby mode it does not consume much, but its consumption is not zero either and everything adds up… The most convenient thing would be to turn off the switch, unplug or disconnect the thief or the strip where the plug is placed. The same happens with the console of video games, we should not keep it plugged in for longer than is strictly necessary.
Home appliances
Microwave, coffee maker, dishwasher, washing machine… These are some of the home appliances that we can (and should) completely disconnect and/or unplug during the time that we are not using them for minimize spending and maximize savings. Many of these devices have some indicator light, visible during the connection, which shows that as soon as you consume something you will always spend and it is not about saving a few hours a day with a specific device, it is about adding up all the savings and take stock over a year, that way we will notice a significant difference.
