Many households are shocked to discover how much electricity their devices are drawing when they are idle. Left plugged in, even dormant electronics can quietly drain power throughout the 7. This is where smart plugs come in. These affordable devices let you monitor exactly how much energy each connected gadget is consuming, giving you the data needed to spot the real energy hogs in your home.

Start by swapping out ordinary plugs, especially those connected to devices you think are draining energy. Common culprits include obsolete TVs, desktop computers, gaming systems, coffee makers with digital clocks, and phone chargers left plugged in. Once installed, most smart plugs link via a dedicated platform that shows live and past consumption data. Look for trends. Is that kettle drawing power even when it’s off? Is the display still using electricity in standby mode?

You might be stunned to find that a single device, like a cable box or a portable heater, is responsible for a major share of your utility costs. Once identified, you can act immediately. Physically disconnect it during downtime, or program it to shut down during off-hours. Some smart plugs even let you get warnings when energy spikes occur, helping you stop wastage before it impacts your bill.
