Default Unplug It

These new big screen televisions are a great asset to any home, but they can also be a liability to your utility bill. Many of them remain on standby even when they are turned off, using almost as much energy as when they are in use.

By unplugging your television when you are not watching it will eliminate that "phantom load" and other electronics that use energy while not being used such as cell phone chargers and computers also.
