Many of us have carried the mobile phone on the charger without turning off the switch after charging the mobile phones. Similarly, after using electrical appliances like TV and AC, many of us have a habit of turning on the remote and leaving without turning off the switch.
Can you believe that all these are silently drawing electricity and increasing your current bill by up to a thousand rupees per year…
Yes it is true. When we operate electronic devices remotely, we do not turn off their switch after using them. In a study conducted in this regard, it has been found that if the switch is not turned off after using the electronic devices such as TV, charger, AC, they continue to draw electricity.

In this study, TV, set-up box, AC, sound system are present in every home, so all 4 devices have been tested. In this study 70 percent people said that they do not turn off the switches of 4 electrical appliances and keep them in standby mode.

According to the study, if the switch is not turned off like this, up to 174 units of electricity will be consumed unnecessarily, and for that, you will have to pay a fee of Rs.1,000. This 174 units of electricity is equivalent to powering a 10 watt LED light for a year. Similarly, a 1.5 ton AC with a 5 star rating is equivalent to running for about 116 hours.

Remember to turn off the switch after using the electrical appliances like TV, set-top box, AC, sound system, charger etc. If not, there is a possibility of paying huge amount for electricity invisibly, this study suggests.
