DOES UNPLUGGING APPLIANCES WHEN GOING AWAY REALLY SAVE ENERGY?
Sep 12th
Question by harlowtoo:
Does unplugging appliances when going away really save energy?
I have heard that you can save on your energy bill by unplugging such things as computers, TV’s, & major appliances (no, not fridge or freezer!) if you are going to be away from home for awhile.
