Appliances That Use Energy Even When Turned Off

Video Game Console

While you’re taking a break from your last marathon gaming session, your console is still busy at work. Features like automatic software updates and not fully shutting down a game in order to be resumed quickly will continuously use energy in the background.

Printer

This is especially the case for those who leave printers on standby, so they don’t have to be turned on every time something needs to be printed. Wirelessly enabled printers will also need to maintain an active WIFI signal, drawing even more energy.
