Most computers used only about 500 watts of power. That's like leaving 5 100-watt light bulbs on all the time. If your electric bill has increased, your computers probably aren't the culprit; I'd be more inclined to think that a heating/cooling system or other large consumer of power is to blame.

Computers doesnt consume a lot of power/electricity. But household appliances do consume much electricity. So everytime u leave the house, u need to put off all the electric lights, hmm, what about ur refrigerator? Are u going to pull off the plug? lol

The monitor of your computer may use a lot of power of electricity. So you sholud turn off your monitor, but you can leave your computer on.

it depend on what CPU u are using, if you using the Intel P.D it will save 40% of you power.
Have A Nice Try!!!
