Do you own an HD-DVR?  Bet you didn’t know that it uses more than half the energy of most new refrigerators and more than an average flat panel TV… and that’s when it’s NOT in use!  Cable boxes and HD-DVR’s don’t have to be in use to consume massive amounts of energy.  Check out this article on USA Today’s Green House to learn more:

Covering air conditioning is enough to worry about this summer, so why not knock some weight off your electric bill by reducing energy consumption?  Monster GreenPower has you covered!  When GreenPower electronics are turned off or go to sleep, the GreenPower outlets switch off, automatically eliminating energy wasted by your subwoofer, DVD player, and more. When your HDTV or AV receiver switches back on, the GreenPower outlets automatically power up again.   This reduces Vampire Energy loss (when your electronics are draining electricity while not in use) and eliminates the need to tediously turn off each individual component.
