A man has shared the staggering cost of how much his standby items could cost him per year after measuring every item in his house.
His investigation follows a continuous sharp increase in energy prices, with average household energy bills predicted to hit £355 a month this winter. Hoping to identify where he could pinch his pennies, the savvy spender bought himself an electricity usage meter.
The meter plugs into any wall and measures how much power any given device in the home is using, even on standby. He was then able to use this information to calculate the yearly cost of leaving the item on standby.
