But what most of us do not know is that even in idle mode, our appliances consume at most 90% of the electric energy, which nowhere serves our purpose and is wasted. Therefore, when not in use, we should always remember to completely turn off the electric devices either by switching them off or by removing the plug from the socket.
There are few appliances which consume an excess amount of electricity and in most cases we have alternatives for them, thus we should try to avoid the use of such devices. Spin dryers fall in the same category and thus their use is not advisable at homes. Instead, we should go for sun drying and let the clothes dry naturally.

In the market, many new models are available which can be substituted for the traditional bulbs to save both electric energy and money. Further, we should use microwave oven for cooking rather than the conventional ovens that consume more energy. Likewise, a number of outdated equipment can be replaced with newer technology for quicker, easier and cheaper use.
