Remember, mechanical, open circuit devices like toasters, mixers, lights, etc. don't need to be unplugged, as they do not rely on a residual amount of "standby" power to function with such accessories as remotes.<br /><br /> As for devices that DO draw power no matter what when plugged in, a good time-saving initiative to take is routing everything in a general proximty to surge protectors. This way, you can do a quick sweep-through of your home, taking about as much time as flipping a light switch. It's a good idea regardless in order to protect your expensive equipment from power surges and brownouts (voltage spikes/drops).Edwardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08086287187395123911noreply@blogger.com
