This device must be turned off before sleeping Rising energy prices due to global conflicts are straining household budgets in Serbia, making electricity and heating more expensive. Many households can significantly reduce their electricity consumption and lower bills by being mindful of ‘stand-by’ power usage from devices like TVs, chargers, and laptops. The most impactful saving comes from turning off the water heater (bojler) when not in use, especially overnight, as it constantly consumes electricity to maintain water temperature.

• Energy prices are rising significantly due to the war in the Middle East and tensions between Russia and Ukraine.
• In Serbia, this leads to higher electricity and heating bills, impacting household budgets.
• Many devices consume electricity even when not in use (stand-by mode), such as TVs, chargers, and laptops.
• The water heater (bojler) is identified as the biggest unnecessary consumer of electricity, especially when left on 24/7.
• Turning off the water heater when not needed, particularly overnight, can lead to substantial savings.
• Other simple saving tips include not leaving lights on in empty rooms, conserving water, running full loads in washing machines, and using blinds to retain heat at night.
