5 Household Gadgets That Save Your Money
Motion-activated sensors
To cut costs, install motion-activated sensors in place of regular switches, and then program them to turn off automatically after a set period of time. Motion sensor switches use about a watt of energy on standby mode (23 hours a day) and 5 watts on active mode (about an hour a day). This trims a bit off of your overall savings. It gives you the option to manually switch on and off, but you can also select how long lights should stay on.
