'Vampire devices' cost UK households £147 a year:
UK households could save an average of £147 per year by switching off so-called vampire devices.
Vampire devices are electronics that drain a surprising amount of power even when they are on standby.
British Gas research indicates households in the UK are spending £3.16bn annually just for the privilege of leaving vampire devices on standby.
This equates to £147 a year for the average household - the equivalent of two months' electricity charges.
Has anyone got any similar figures for their home countries?
