Protect Your Home and Wallet: Unplug These 5 Appliances When You’re Done Using Them

Introduction
Many household appliances continue to draw power even when turned off, a phenomenon known as "phantom" or "standby" energy use. This silent energy drain not only hikes up your electricity bill but can also pose safety risks. By unplugging certain devices after use, you can save money and reduce fire hazards.
