Saving energy nowadays is a well-known and often discussed topic. Sometimes, however, the frequency does not go hand in hand with the quality of the content, and useful information that helps to save energy is intertwined with an avalanche of fakenews that can arouse energy-saving phobia. How to avoid it? Especially for you, we present the most popular myths and the truths related to energy saving.

Stand by

Energy-saving or energy-consuming? The dispute over the so-called "Standby mode" is the cause of many ongoing discussions. The fact is, devices that are in standby mode continue to draw power, even though they are turned off. However, these are negligible amounts. Nevertheless, awareness of how standby works is important in order to properly dispose of your devices.

Energy saving light bulbs

Let us shed some light on this situation… energy saving bulbs are a really great solution. However, they must be used under the right conditions. Do you know that they are most useful when they are on for as long as possible? They consume the most electricity during start-up, so using them in rooms where we turn the light on and off very often, simply does not use their energy-saving function.

Chilling truth

Are you one of those people who mindlessly open a refrigerator door without really knowing what they are looking for? It's great because now we can take the blame for the waste of energy on you!
