Ways to Save Energy at Home

Home comfort and technology can inadvertently lead to energy waste. Televisions, computers, gaming consoles and even coffee makers continue to consume energy in standby mode even when switched off. YEO, Turkey's renewable energy and energy technology brand, is offering easy-to-apply energy-saving tips to everyone during Energy Efficiency Week.

Technology in homes and offices can sometimes inadvertently lead to energy waste. Televisions, computers, gaming consoles and even coffee makers continue to consume energy in standby mode even when switched off. Although the energy consumption may seem small, it affects bills at year-end and threatens the environment.

YEO, Turkey's renewable energy and energy technology brand, is inviting everyone to energy efficiency for a sustainable world during Energy Efficiency Week with its tips. According to YEO, which operates under the slogan "We Believe It's Possible", savings are achievable by changing certain habits:

Which devices are in standby mode?

Identify which devices in your home consume energy in standby mode. Usually, even if these devices are completely off, they reveal themselves through small lights, clocks or quick-start features.

If you're not using it, turn it completely off

If you are not using a device, turn it completely off. Some devices may have an extra button or option to exit standby mode and completely power down the device. This small step can significantly reduce unnecessary energy consumption. In some products, standby mode consumption reaches 30% of total consumption.

Smart plugs can be a solution

Smart plugs provide the ability to control multiple devices. Energy savings become easier by completely cutting power at specific times or conditions. By choosing models that can be controlled remotely, you can manage energy consumption even when away from home.

Check the efficiency label

When buying a new device, pay attention to energy efficiency labels and standby energy consumption values. Devices with low standby energy consumption contribute to both your budget and the environment in the long term. Raise awareness among everyone in your home about this issue. Every member of your family, including children, should know about the effects of standby mode and the importance of completely turning off devices.
