How can one save electricity?

I'm also very interested in something like that! Unfortunately, I find it not so easy to figure out. First of all, you have to calculate the difference between a "non-energy-saving" device (for example, a 60 watt lamp) and the energy-saving item (11 watt lamp). Then you would need to know exactly how long it is in use. Since there are no detailed breakdowns on electricity bills, it's not so easy. A remedy could be a power meter, but that costs money again anyway ;)

And of course, if I'm not sitting at the desk at the PC, then I also turn off the PC.

My boyfriend usually leaves the PC on all day. I'm almost thinking about buying power meters to show him how much electricity he could save ;)

My wife also likes to leave her PC in standby mode for hours, I think such a power meter would also be worthwhile in our household!

Hello attachment,

I have consciously decided on photovoltaics on the roof for self-supply and feeding into the power grid.
Best regards!

Hello everyone,

I would like to know how the relationship between "paying too much for electricity" and the use (so first of all the purchase) of energy-saving devices/tools is.
For example: We have spent about €50 on energy-saving lamps; but I don’t know if we actually notice this expense as a saving on the electricity bill.

Saving electricity is primarily an ecological issue; but what about the payback period – has anyone calculated it or has experience?

I am also very interested in this because I have no experience with it so far

Generally unplug standby devices from the power supply and possibly replace old energy guzzlers

I think the most important thing is simply to replace the old lamps with LEDs or energy-saving lamps/ not to turn on the heating unnecessarily/ not to put the PC on standby/ unplug the phone charger when the phone is not charging/ turn off the TV completely so that the light does not stay on/ renew windows/ turn off lights :)
