This launch guide maps the topic, the source base and the practical questions. Check the linked official authority before acting on a rule, deadline, price or safety requirement.
What this guide covers
Standby power by device and annual cost. This source-reviewed orientation page separates stable observe-measure-check-the-manual principles from decisions that depend on the exact building, climate, ventilation and combustion needs, equipment model, hydraulic or electrical design, tariff, meter, permissions, local code and qualified on-site assessment. The named editions, URLs and reuse limits were checked on 2026-09-10.
It remains outside search indexes pending a second-person clinical editorial review and localisation.
How to use it
Use Standby power by device and annual cost to understand the inputs, units and assumptions before relying on an output. A useful result should be reproducible from the named source rather than presented as an unexplained score.
The page keeps the main question, its evidence base and its limits together in one canonical place. That makes it useful as a quick orientation and avoids splitting a broad subject into shallow pages before each narrower answer has enough verified material of its own.
Reviewed editorial notes
These concise notes are independently written from the source set below. In an emergency, use the local emergency number and follow the dispatcher rather than relying on a static page.
Separate off, standby, networked standby and active idle
Identify what function remains available, whether a network port is active and whether another product depends on the device before labelling its state. EU Regulation 2023/826 defines and limits covered low-power modes within a specific product scope, but it does not mean every device that looks idle is in regulated standby or consumes the same power. Check the product information and measure a stable state with suitable equipment when needed; a smart plug may have its own minimum resolution, uncertainty and standby use.
Calculate annual energy from measured power and realistic hours
For a steady state, multiply watts by hours and divide by 1,000 to estimate kilowatt-hours, keeping measurement uncertainty and changing modes visible; cost then uses the applicable energy price rather than the whole bill average unless that is the intended scenario. Do not disconnect routers, medical, security, refrigeration, update, moisture-control or safety equipment merely to remove standby. Prefer documented power management and verify wake behaviour, data retention and remote functions after a change.
Terminology changes across borders. These are example phrases people use for the same subject in Estonian, Finnish, Russian and English; they are included as a practical vocabulary aid, not as hidden keywords.

Scope and boundaries
This source-review release verifies the named editions, URLs and reuse limits for the orientation page. It remains outside search indexes: it is not a building survey, ventilation or heating design, electrical or plumbing instruction, product compliance decision, tariff forecast, solar site assessment or substitute for the property owner, utility, manufacturer and qualified local trades.
