| 668400 | 2008-05-12 08:02:00 | The only things we leave on are the video and the bedside clock everything else gets turned off at the wall, both my wife and one of her sisters have had electrical fires in the past and it wasn't dodgy wiring as both houses were thoroughly tested. We don't use the clock on the microwave and the oven does'nt have a clock so it's not an issue we just have a nice battery clock hanging on the wall in the kitchen instead. | gary67 (56) | ||
| 668401 | 2008-05-12 08:09:00 | Mmmmm....... I'm on the Fusion plan so if I turned my PC off at the wall, I would have no phone. But I do try to remember to turn other standbys off. Trouble is other person in house leaves them all on again, so can't win ay! | lakewoodlady (103) | ||
| 668402 | 2008-05-12 08:15:00 | Seems a bit of confusion here P,we are getting from 1 to 10%. No confusion, the range of consumption did include "with better devices under 1W". |

| 668403 | 2008-05-12 09:06:00 | My TV (Sony Bravia) is 140 Watts "ON", less than 1 Watt "Standby" My CMV PC monitors are 51 Watts "ON", less than 2 Watts "Standby. It varies by appliance type. There is no formula. An older TV will be higher in Standby watts. I have a remote control heater in the room, it uses just under a Watt in Standby mode. 1200 Watts ON. |

| 668404 | 2008-05-12 09:25:00 | We leave nothing on at night at all except for the Woosh modem and Gateway. Since we don't use any clocks built into appliances, its all good, safe and doesn't cost us anything :) | beeswax34 (63) | ||

So,do you leave on standby or switch off.? To be helpful we need to know which is the way to go,ON or OFF. How much is safety an issue? In general is cost minimal. |

| 668406 | 2008-05-12 11:01:00 | i leave my PC's on most of the time, reduces wear from hot/cold cycles. those people pulling the plug on your VCR/etc is going to eventually create dry joints and stress failure | williamF (115) | ||
| 668407 | 2008-05-12 12:44:00 | those people pulling the plug on your VCR/etc is going to eventually create dry joints and stress failure That is all a six of one and a half dozen of the other thing but if everyone turned off there would be a vast power savings throught the country and how many people keep things now till they reach the stress stage. |
