This article<\/strong> is a focused article<\/strong> but I suggest that maybe we need<\/strong> to invest in turning off more than just the computer. \u00a0Some of the other things I have read and posted to do are :<\/p>\n

1. \u00a0Invest in a power strip for your TV that when the power draw drops (turning the tv off) that it shuts down all the associated items so that they do not stay in “warm-up” mode.<\/p>\n

2. Unplug that laptop power brick. \u00a0It draws power all the time, not just when your laptop needs it.<\/p>\n

3. Unplug those other power cubes for the cell phones, battery chargers and anything that just takes a “trickle” . \u00a0Anything with a power LED will take some power, granted it may not but more than a few cents worth of power a day<\/strong> but multiply that times the number that you have and it will add up pretty quick.<\/p>\n

4. \u00a0One of my biggest savings is to do what your parents told you – “turn<\/strong> off the lights”. \u00a0But in today’s world we all want light to show off, things or for security but put them on sensors to shut them off when not needed.<\/p>\n

5. \u00a0One I need<\/strong> to remember to do a lot more of, is to shut off the “electric water heater” when we are going to be gone several days. \u00a0No need<\/strong> to keep water hot when you’re not there.<\/p>\n

As my kids used to say DUH! think about it, if you don’t need<\/strong> it for an extended time, unplug or turn<\/strong> it off.<\/p>\n

Your computer’s relationship with your energy bill goes a bit deeper than you may think. Too much of a good thing isn’t always good and your energy bill is finding this out the hard way.<\/p>\n

Although you think that leaving the computer on during the day<\/strong> isn’t that big of a deal, your energy bill says something different. This relationship needs some clearly defined boundaries to help lower your energy bill and also increase the functionality and life span of your computer. Now that’s a much better relationship!<\/p>\n

The Misconception About Screen Savers<\/strong><\/p>\n

Isn’t it funny how there’s always someone around to remind you to shut off your computer? If they don’t tell you now, they’ll be sure to tell you later. Their helpfulness isn’t what bothers you; it’s that you just don’t see the need<\/strong> behind shutting off the computer. It can’t be wasting that much energy, right?<\/p>\n

So, you choose to put up a screen saver, which doesn’t seem to stop your energy crazy friend who still thinks you’re wasting energy.<\/p>\n

According to the U.S. Dept of Energy, using a screen saver doesn’t save energy. In fact, the longer the computer stays on, the more energy it stirs up and uses. You can, however, save energy by switching over to sleep<\/strong> mode, but the best way to completely reduce energy expense is by shutting down the computer.<\/p>\n

How to Make Sure Your Computer is Really Shut Down<\/strong><\/p>\n

What does shut down really mean? Sure, anyone can click a button, but is electricity still traveling to and from your computer?<\/p>\n

The best way to guarantee that no energy is being used as the computer is shut down is by having your computer and its accessories plugged into a power strip.<\/p>\n

A power strip or surge protector is used to provide electricity to several devices at once and provide the assurance that as the button is switched off there will no longer be an exchange of electricity.<\/p>\n

The Effects of Turning the Computer On and Off<\/strong><\/p>\n

Some people argue that turning your computer on and off is an unsafe practice. This is up for debate, but according to the U.S. Dept of Energy, the best way to save energy and to improve the lifeline of your computer is to shut it off when not being used.<\/p>\n

Another great way of looking at this particular debate comes from an article<\/strong> on the website, howstuffworks.com<\/strong>. The author affirms us that a computer’s components will surpass the potential “frying” that could result from frequently switching on and off.<\/p>\n

You can compare this to the way that we turn<\/strong> a television on and off. Although problems do occur, the likelihood that they are the result of shutting off the device is slim, while the reasons behind shutting off the computer are quite convincing.<\/p>\n

By shutting down the computer you are giving it time<\/strong> to relax and recuperate. You’re also fighting against overheating by turning off the computer when it’s not in use.<\/p>\n

Basically, the less you have your computer running, the longer it is bound to last. You can certainly inquire about a warranty if you have any serious concerns about the effects of turning off your computer. This will undoubtedly be far cheaper than paying to keep your computer running all the time<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

How an ENERGY STAR Computer Can Help You Save<\/strong><\/p>\n

For those of you who want to be able to utilize a sleep<\/strong> mode that really saves energy, try purchasing an ENERGY<\/strong> STAR computer. When in sleep<\/strong> mode, these computers will save you around 70 percent of the energy you would have used with another computer. The computer actually has two different levels of sleep<\/strong> mode and offers varying degrees of energy savings.<\/p>\n

Even More Energy Saving Tips<\/strong><\/p>\n

Once you have evaluated your tendencies regarding turning our computer on and off, you can now consider whether you want to investigate other ways to save money on your energy bill. Altogether, your appliances affect 20 percent of your monthly energy bill.<\/p>\n
