Halt the vanishing act.Ken can avoid phantom loads by unplugging electronics he's not using, and save $100 over a year's time.
The average home has 25 appliances that draw phantom loads. This may account for 6% of Ken 's monthly power bill. Items like TVs, DVDs, stereos, alarm clocks, microwave ovens, coffee makers and computers (including peripherals) draw power even when they're turned off. So do charging devices with a square transformer at the end of the cord. Besides pulling the plug on any device he doesn't use regularly, Ken could consider a power strip that cuts power to multiple devices with the flick of one switch.
