Devices that remain plugged in off state bring 20 percent extra cost on electricity bills

According to a study by the British energy company British Gas, the cost burden of devices with high power consumption is an additional 20 percent even when they are off.

The term “vampire device” is used for devices that consume a surprising amount of electricity even when turned off.

According to a study published on media, more than 2.2 billion sterling pounds of electricity is consumed by these devices every year across the country.

This is £147 per household, which means the average two-month electricity bill in Britain.

Unplugging vampire devices is among the easiest ways to cope with this.

Among these devices there are also smart speakers, laptops and modems.

The research says, the annual cost of turning on the TV with a remote control instead of plugging it into a wall outlet in Britain is £ 24.
