The year 2023 will have literally been synonymous with rising electricity prices.

We therefore first recall thatit is useful to unplug all household appliances such as toasters, microwaves, coffee makers or even air fryers when they are not in use.

Energy savings: this useful setting to make on your television
As reported by our sisters from Current wife, Adjusting the brightness of your television screen is a point that should not be neglected. No need to search through the many settings, the sun-shaped symbol on the remote control is sometimes present to directly access brightness-related settings. Then simply lower the brightness (which is often at maximum), so that energy consumption in turn drops.
We take note that some televisions are equipped with an “energy saving” function which automatically lowers the screen brightness to reduce power consumption. Also, some new generation televisions are equipped with a ambient light sensor that adapts the screen brightness depending on the lighting of the room in which it is located. Finally, if you are the type to fall asleep in front of the TV, know that it also exists on many televisions, a “schedule sleep” function that allows you to set the automatic shutdown time of the TV.
