Vampire power is the electricity devices use even when “off”—like TVs on standby, idle chargers, or gaming consoles waiting for use. These small drains add up, often wasting 5–10% of a home’s energy bill ($100–$200 a year). Not everything should be unplugged—fridges, routers, and medical devices need constant power—but many items don’t. Using smart power strips, switching off appliances, and unplugging chargers are simple ways to cut costs and reduce wasted energy.
