You also have to be careful regarding the power watts of the equipment that you have in your house.

Some have rechargeable batteries for some electric devices and these are recharged by plugging it to your sockets. You also have to make sure that you know how long you should charge them and then take off once they're full. Part of it too is to know the watts of your device so that you can avoid breakage. Most of the time the watts used are 120 and 220 which mean that if it's 120 then plug with 120 while 220 is with 220. If you have a 120 device but have no socket for it then you'll need to have an adapter which is sold in many stores.

The advantage of this is that you save energy when you do something like that.

These are applicable to all electric devices and it not only includes those you have to plug but also those that are powered by batteries.
