Home Idle Loads

Your home is constantly using energy, in combination with your home energy monitor. Your smart plug can help combat those appliance and equipment in sleep or in standby mode that appear inactive but are costing you money while you are away or asleep.

According to Stanford Sustainable Systems Lab, “home idle loads constitutes an average of 32% of household electricity consumption in the U.S.”
