I am waiting to hear the answer to this question myself. My electric company wants $300 to have it turned back on and I don't have even close to that. I am taking cold showers, living my candles, nothing to cook food, I feel like I am living in a cave! They won't work with me on it, when I am paid up with my bills too! I DON'T OWE THEM ANYTHING AND THEY WANT $300!!! What am I suppose to do? So, sorry long story, but I am anxiously waiting for the answer!
What else can I help you with?

Does a lamp consume electricity even when turned off?
Yes, a lamp consumes a small amount of electricity even when turned off because it is still connected to a power source and has standby power consumption.
Does a tv use more power if it's left on for an hour or if it's turned off and then back on?
A TV typically uses more power if it's left on for an hour than if it's turned off and then back on. When a TV is on, it is actively using electricity to display images and produce sound. Turning it off reduces power consumption, but the initial surge of power when turning it back on should be considered.
Can current electricity be turned off?
