The British outlet The Sun reports that every home contains several appliances that can noticeably affect electricity bills over time, even though residents often do not realise it. The piece is aimed at people looking for ways to cut costs and save money.

Experts: switching off helps save

Specialists claim that turning off certain devices while they are not being used can save a lot of energy and money over the course of a year. The publication calls these devices the "hungriest" in the home and poses the question of which ones they are.

The excerpt republished by Latvijas Avīze does not include the list of devices or any specific calculations, so it is unclear how much could be saved in each case. The article is tagged with the topics of electricity, finance and household appliances.
