Ghost bust your phantom power (the power still flowing to your electronics when they’re “off” or “on standby”).  Purchase a power bar with a timer to turn off computers and their printers, speakers, scanners, etc. at times when you’re not likely to use your electronics. Power bars also work well for TVs, stereos, DVD players and the like. Spot the phantoms by looking for the telltale red and green LED lights on your equipment – if you see one glowing, the power is still flowing!
