The Importance of Switching off appliances
It is very important to switch off appliances when not being used because they are devices that could ultimately fail, and could case major fires if no one is around to spot the problem or to remove the electrical power socket.
Unplugging appliances has the potential to save you money on expenses, and this practice can also increase the life of your belongings. The more items you have plugged in around the house, the more susceptible your devices are to damage through an unexpected power surge.
