Now my husband is saying we have to start unplugging all our appliances (Not the Fridge) and other electric things to save money. I leave my lights plugged in, my charger, my computer. Will it really save that much electricity to unplug when we aren't using?
Live in NOVA as well. 2,300 Sq Ft home, August bill was under $80. Keep thermostat at 70 all summer long. Distribution charges and taxes and fees are 40% of the bill. Even if I got 10% savings from unplugging things it would only be $5 a month. Not worth the effort.
