simply don’t need the TV for an extended period—unplugging it completely can eliminate standby consumption.

4. Gaming Consoles

Gaming consoles can consume power while they’re switched off or placed in sleep/standby modes.

These modes may allow features such as automatic updates, remote activation, or faster startup.

If you don’t use your console for several days, consider switching it to its lowest-power shutdown setting or unplugging it when appropriate.

Just remember that some systems may need to complete updates before being disconnected.

5. Computers and Accessories

Desktop computers, monitors, speakers, printers, and other accessories can remain connected to power even when you’re finished working.

Instead of unplugging every cable individually, consider connecting several devices to a power strip with a switch.

When you’re finished for the day, you can turn off the power strip and disconnect multiple devices at once.

This is especially convenient for a home office.
