Unplug your appliances when not in use

I rarely unplug my appliances and only switch them off instead.

No, just out of lack of education and out of habit, nothing more

I think laziness is one reason, I rarely unplug my television and electric fans when it's not in use since I am sure to be using it later. Appliances that are never unplugged are just refrigerators though. It consumes a lot of electricity.

With my luck I would break it. Why don't they put thing on the wall like the other one. I have a zillion of these adapt boxes that sit there and hum at me. Maybe I'll just pull the handle on the big scary box and stop it all, didn't like that frozen hamburger meat anyway.

Yes we really have to unplug them when leaving and after using to save some electricity and to avoid accident that it may cause.

Hmm, I am lucky enough to have a father who has installed a switch for every socket in our living room. So all I have to do is switch them off when not in use or when I am about to sleep. I wish he also did the same to the other parts of the house. I do unplug the airconditioner because sometimes I hear it making humming sounds even when it's turned off.

I have not been unplugging the electric appliances. Now I will certainly try to unplug the appliances so that I can save the electricity. I was surprised initially when I first learned that we can save electricity by unplugging the electric appliances.

Yep, many of us have ten or more plugs plugged in our house. Thus, unplugging and plugging them every time we leave and returned to the house would really be a bit troublesome. Of course it is best to unplug them, money is not a problem but fire is XD

Really? I have heard that But never new if it was totally true! I guess I will start unplugging everything not in use. Nothings cheat anymore! Thanks for sharing

Even when we were still very young, my mom would always remind me and my siblings to turn off the appliances AND to unplug them from the sockets when not in use, especially when we are about to go out of the house. It has been one of the earliest and most prominent things that my mom had taught us then and that I still keep in mind up to now. So as much as possible, I always oblige myself in accomplishing this simple yet significant task. Somehow it has already become an automatic thing for me to do to unplug any appliance before leaving any room I had been to. I think some are still unable to do this unplugging due to forgetfulness or being in quite a rush in leaving the room or the house. It really takes a certain amount of getting used to to be able to be always reminded of doing this task.

I am also guilty of this. I do not unplug extension cords whenever I do not use them. I figured that if my iphone and laptop is not attached to them then I would not really waste electricity. I just recently found out that this is wrong. my mother told me what was the right thing to do and stuff. So now, I unplug my extension cord always! Happy mylotting.
