Why Your Power Bill Is High — And How to Fix It
Your AC isn’t the only thing raising your electricity bill. A small device — your set-top box (STB) — could be quietly wasting energy even when “off.”
The Problem:
STBs use nearly the same power in standby mode as when fully on. Many stay powered 24/7, driving up your bill.
Quick Fixes:
• Unplug it or turn it off fully after use
• Use a power strip with a switch
• Try a smart plug to schedule off times
Other Energy Hogs:
Air Conditioner
Set to 26°C, use sleep mode, and clean filters.
Fridge
Cool food before storing, don’t overfill, and dry veggies.
Washing Machine
Use short cycles, avoid extra rinses, and unplug when not in use.
Save Money Easily
Small changes = lower bills.
Flip the switch — not just the remote!
