It seems like an obvious thing to do, but you would be amazed you many of our customers admit to never turning their laptop charger off.The laptop gets switched off when they go out or go to bed, but the laptop adapter is left on all night long.Not only is this bad for the environment, but it is also bad for your pocket.Laptop chargers should be turned off at the wall when they are not being used as they are still using electricity, even if you have turned your laptop off, just the same as your TV is using power when it is in stand-by.
Given that many households now have three laptops on the go, the saving to your electricity bill will be significant over the course of a full year.Needless to say it is also no great for the longevity of the laptop adaptor if it is left on all the time, just as your car wouldn’t be in great shape if it never got a break.If your laptop adapter or laptop charger has given up then Laptop Power UK supply a full range of products, however the same still applies, you should turn your laptop adaptor off at the mains if you are not using the laptop or are not charging up your laptop battery.
Turning your laptop mains cable off at night is one of those things that you should get into the habit of doing.You will make your laptop charger last longer, you will save money on your electricity bill and you will be making a contribution to protecting the environment.You’re right it is only a small change, but with the proliferation of laptop equipment in the home over the last few years, all these little changes in laptop adapter power usage quickly add up.Remember to check your laptop charger has been turned off before you go to bed tonight!!
