Let’s say I have a computer plugged in, or a microwave, or phone charger plugged in. Isn’t the point of a device being off is that it’s not supposed to be using electricity? How much watts of power am I looking at that’s being consumed per hour?
Where does this apply and where does it not? Shouldn’t I try to unplug everything as much as possible to save money?

During the middle of the night when everyone is asleep and the AC isn’t running my house uses .5kw per hour, thats with countless things plugged in on standby, phones charging, my fridge, nightlight for my kid. unplugging everything that isn’t in use won’t save you any noticeable amount of money off of your bill and just be more of a pain in the ass to keep plugging everything back in when you need it.
