Devices that consume electricity, how to save electricity

Some electrical equipment still consumes no small amount of electricity even when turned off, causing your family to pay an additional 'meaningless' amount for the monthly electricity bill:

Air conditioning

Air conditioning is considered the most power-consuming electrical device in the family. One air conditioner 9000 BTU (capacity ranges from 800 - 850 W) consumes about 0.85KWh (nearly 1 electricity) in an hour.

Meanwhile, the 12000BTU air conditioner (1500W capacity) will cost your family 1.5 electricity after 1 hour of use. Even, even when turned off by the controller, the device still consumes power underground.

Television

Many people have the habit of turning off the TV with the controller to make it convenient and save time. But do you know that, in this case, the device will be switched to standby mode and still continuously consume a small amount of electricity. Through experiments, this number can be up to more than 24W per day.

Phone charger

Charging your phone is a very close-up device, if not close to many people. Even so, you believe the phone charger still silently consumes your home, even if you are not connected to your phone.

Although this capacity is quite low, only about 1.2 W but over time this is no longer a small number, especially when you own more than one smartphone in your home.

Digital head of TV

According to calculations, if only turn off without unplugging power, every day the TV's digital receiver consumes about 22 W. The power multiplied by the entire 30-day month is not small, right?

Leave the desktop and laptop in "sleep" mode

Desktop computers and laptops will still work in the background, even if you turn them off with the command 'Turn off'. On average, these devices, which use about 96W per day, means that every month, the household's electricity consumption will be put up by about 3 'useless' electricity for every home computer.

In addition, this number will be 1.5 times higher if you have the habit of leaving the device in 'Stand by' standby mode.

The device has a time display

Household electrical appliances with hourly displays such as washing machines, ovens, microwaves, magnetic cookers, electric rice cookers . are really a device that "consumes" your home fiercely.

These "tiny" screens use up to 108 W of electricity in 24 hours, because in addition to displaying hours, it also keeps a connection to the entire system of the device. By unplugging this device, you can save a decent amount of money to pay the electricity bill.

Induction cooker

In addition, the induction cooker is also on the list of most consumable items, but my house sometimes uses it so it is not significant.

* Simple tips to save electricity when using household appliances

- Do not disconnect the refrigerator when not in use: Disconnecting the refrigerator and not using it for a while will cause the hot and cold rigs inside the machine to be oxidized and quickly damaged. At the same time, when you reboot, the refrigerator will also consume a certain amount of electricity to cool it back from the start, which results in power consumption.

- Do not put too much food in the refrigerator: Many people still think of putting a lot of food in the refrigerator to chill once to save. However, this will cause the refrigerator to operate at high capacity to freeze the food inside the cabinet, consuming more energy than usual.

- Turn off lights when leaving the room: This is a habit of many people to save energy in the house when not in use. However, this is only true for incandescent lamps, but fluorescent lamps are not. Turning on and off fluorescent lights several times will be more expensive. So, if you leave the house within 15 minutes, there is no need to turn off the lights.

- Microwave: Do not turn on the microwave when in an air-conditioned room or near other electrical appliances. Oven food must be made of glass, porcelain or ceramic. Avoid using metal items because they absorb heat, make long-lasting food, cause electricity loss.

Always close the oven door when operating to avoid the microwave leakage out, reducing the efficiency of the oven and consuming electricity.

- High-speed kettle: Choose to buy a high-speed kettle with a capacity suitable for the family's needs to avoid boiling water many times a day, wasting electricity.

Avoid heating in a room with air conditioning or in front of the fan airflow.

- Ironing clothes: Should choose the type of iron with non-stick with the capacity from 1000w -1200w, because these types of iron are not only easy to iron but also save power consumption.

Do not use the iron in the room with the air conditioner turned on, when the power flickers or when the clothes are wet, it will consume a lot of electricity; When ironing, set the appropriate temperature for each type of fabric.
