I doubt it if doing this will cut the electric bill in half. Although I have great respect for Ms. Juan, I would be more convinced if i read a scientific article or study that provides proof that by just unplugging devices, this will result to a 50% savings in electric bil. Maybe, it could result into some savings but I am not convinced that it will add up to 50%.

Hmm, maybe not on half, but a significant amount. I am also guilty of not removing the plug. I bought extension cords with power switches… but now there’s too much wires on my living room ><

No way… unplugging those electronics appliance from the outlet will not cut your bills into half.

imagine a 200W electronics appliance consumes when turned ON and 1W when in standby mode.

removing elex appliance from the electrical outlet may save you P100 at most.

i also disagree with the claim. while the tv is plugged into the ac mains, there is a secondary power supply and circuit, mainly the control circuit or channel, but it consumes negligible power actually and won’t be able to consume 1 kWhr per month

how much is 1kWhr these days?

what i’m looking at is using an energy saver for motor-powered appliances like electric fans and aircons. They actually work by correcting power-factor for those appliances. the technology was developed by NASA decades ago and you can even see demos of that in SM
