Unplug devices to save power

Solid advice: Khairul Anuar says the power strip can be used to cut out idle current and reduce bills.

Using energy-saving bulbs, turning off the lights and the air-conditioner are among the ways to trim the electric bill. One overlooked option is to unplug appliances when they are not in use.

“Switching off the device still allows a small flow of electricity. It is best to unplug the device to save electricity,” said Petaling Jaya City Council’s (MBPJ) Green City Committee chairman Khairul Anuar Ahmad Zainudin.
