I think people are very surprised now after having very low heavily subsidized electricity bills for a long time. I read that just the fridge/freezer alone it consumes about 25 kwh per month. This winter my usage is up quite a bit and first time I got a 200,000+ peso bill. Over $150 dollar bill just with normal heating. Many friends are complaining about the bills now which is a shock for them.Here’s a list of appliances and devices that we should unplug when they’re off because they continue to consume energy. With bills being so high these days, it’s better to keep an eye on expenses.

Vampire consumption: up to 23.3 Wh in standby mode and around 1 Wh when off but plugged in.
