Does it take more energy to turn my TV and lights on and off than it does to leave them running?
It's always a good idea to turn devices off when they’re not in use.
Leaving lights, TVs, computers and other appliances running - even when they're not being used - does not save energy. Turn off electronics and appliances when you know you won't be using them. Another option is to plug similar appliances (TV, DVD player and game system) into a power strip and turn the strip off when those appliances are not in use.
