Audio/Visual Gear

Audio devices like amplifiers, stereos, boom boxes and internet radio receivers are easy enough to unplug when not in use. This simple act can save you up to $40 a year.

Save between $7 and $40 a year by unplugging stereos, amplifiers, internet radio receivers, boom boxes and other audio and visual gear. Their average wattage sits between 7 and 40 watts.

Fans

If you like using a fan, consider getting one with a timer so that it’ll automatically turn itself off after a while. This is especially helpful at night when you have better things to do- such as dreaming!

These can cost you around $111 a year since their average wattage is 110 watts.
