With the rising cost of living leading to gas end electricity bills soaring for millions of households across the country, many Brits may be looking for ways to conserve energy and save money.
Despite this, many may be unaware that there are plenty of electronic 'vampire devices' which drain a shocking amount of electricity when they are left on standby. These devices have an extremely negative effect on electricity bills with British Gas research suggesting households in the UK spend £2.2bn every year just by leaving these devices on standby.
For the average household, this means spending an extra £147 - or, the equivalent of two months' worth of electricity bills. Earlier this year, the energy price was increased by 54 per cent, meaning the typical household will not pay £1,971 a year on bills alone.
