Smart devices you don’t use
There are more and more smart devices, also known as IoT, that we have at home. Well, whether we like it or not, for them to work at any time, the truth is that you must be plugged in. It is for this very reason that they become one of the devices that can consume the most, even when we do not use them. As could be a robot vacuum cleaner.

For example, computers, consoles, televisions, etc. Although we think that they do not spend, or at least that they consume little, in fact, if you are going to be in this function throughout the day, the sum of everything will be significant.
For this reason, the ideal at all times is to turn off the device when you are not going to use it. Disconnect the Smart TV, video player, console or any device that has this function. In this way, you can reach save month by month.
Radiators you don’t need
Although we are in the cold season, one of the cases that can consume the most light on these dates are the radiators. Today, our homes have at least one radiator per room. Therefore, it does not hurt to close or turn off those radiators that we do not need to have on if we are not going to be in those particular rooms.
Basically, because I’m sure there’s one that you really don’t need to have on all the time, since it’s a room that you never use or even enter. A good piece of advice to keep in mind at all times is to keep those radiators that you will need In your home.
Refrigerator or fridge that is empty
This is not the most common case, since not all of us have more than one fridge or refrigerator at home. However, if in your case you have one more at home to have it as a reserve on some occasions, especially in times when many people go home, as may have happened at Christmas, the truth is that it will only be better leave it on when you are going to use it.
And it is not that it is for fun to disconnect the fridge or refrigerator from the current, but that these appliances can become 25% of the total electricity bill for a home. Since they need to constantly maintain the temperature so that the food does not spoil.
