Here at Dalec we love saving money and with this in mind, we were very interested to read that turning appliances off at night could save around £80 per year on the average electricity bill.

We know it’s all too easy to leave the TV or DVD player on at night but it’s becoming more common for people to leave other appliances on, such as computers, tablets and mobile phones.  Other appliances – dishwashers and washing machines, for example – are also often left on stand-by, even though they might appear to be switched off.

Appliances left on stand-by can account for up to 16% of the average electricity bill of around £500 a year so spending a little time each evening turning everything off before you go to bed is a cheap and easy way to save money.
