Savings
The Remote Control 8 Outlet Surge Strip can save you up to $84 a year if you plug your TV, non-DVR/TiVo cable box, DVD player and stereo into it and simply use the remote to eliminate standby power whenever you are not using these devices. The Department of Energy reports that a TV uses as many as 48.5 watts per hour in standby mode, a cable box uses as many 30.6 watts per hour in standby mode, a DVD player uses as many 10.58 watts per hour in standby mode and a stereo uses as many as 6.83 watts per hour in standby mode. Assuming a TV spends 20 hours per day in standby mode, then this can cost up to $3.45 per month at an electricity cost of 11.7 cents per kWh. If a cable box spends 20 hours per day in standby mode, this can cost up to $2.18 per month. If a DVD player spends 23 hours per day in standby mode, this can cost up to 87 cents per month. If a stereo spends 22 hours per day in standby mode, this can cost up to 53 cents per month. Add them all up and you can save just over $7 per month, or $84 per year.
