Saving Energy, One TV at a Time


Reduce the brightness setting of your television and look through your television's menu system for energy- or power-saving modes.	Use power strips to switch off televisions, home theater equipment, and stereos when you're not using them or when you go out of town. If you're buying a new TV look for a unit that includes a built-in DVD player and POD slot, they usually consume less energy in standby mode than separate components.	Make your entire home more energy efficient; start with our tips for the kitchen, living room and laundry room.

Also use a power strip for other electronics such as your computer, printer, modem, etc. and after shutting everything down properly, hit the power strip off to prevent "phantom" power from being used.
