The electrician knows never tell you: 6 things consume electricity more than air conditioning

Fridge

A refrigerator is a device that is usually switched on throughout the family day. Therefore, the amount of power that this device has is less, but it is the most power consuming. On average, every day, small refrigerators with a capacity of 150 liters with a capacity of 100-150 W, average daily electricity consumption will range from 1.5 kWh to 2.25 kWh. In a month a small refrigerator will consume at least 45 kilograms of electricity.

Large size refrigerators with a power consumption of 170-210 W, will consume about 3 kilograms per day, equivalent to 90 kilograms per month.

television

Many people have the habit of turning off the TV by remote to save time. However, in this case, the device will be switched to standby mode and still continuously consume a small amount of electricity. This number, through experiments, can reach more than 24W per day.

In particular, energy consumption will be even more significant with TVs that integrate many modern and large-scale technologies. Therefore, from now on, train yourself in the habit of turning off the power from the TV or even unplugging the plug, so that you can 'reduce the load' for your family's electricity bill.

Air-conditioner

Air conditioning is the most power-hungry device in the family. Even when turned off, the device still consumes power underground.

It is estimated that 1 HP air conditioners with a capacity of about 750 W (excluding the included equipment) will consume 0.75 kWh (nearly 1 kilowatt-hour) after one hour of use. Air conditioner 1.5 HP with a capacity of 1.125 W running within an hour will consume 1,125 kWh. An air conditioner with a larger capacity like 2 HP - 1,500W will consume 1.5 kilograms after an hour of operation.

Desktop and laptop computers

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 screen

Topping the list of power-hungry, these are devices that have hourly displays that are integrated into many new generation household items. Typically, washing machines, ovens, microwave ovens, induction cookers, electric rice cookers . These 'tiny' screens use up to 108 W of electricity in 24 hours, in addition to the function of displaying hours, It also keeps a connection to the entire system of the device.

Cooling fan

Along with air conditioning, cold fans are the preferred device to use much more in the hot season. A normal fan will have a capacity of 80W to 200W, so if you turn on the electric fan for 6 hours a day, the power consumption will be about 0.48 kWh to 1.2 kWh.

In addition, for conventional electric fans of about 40W, if you turn on five hours a day at the highest speed, users will have to pay an additional 2 kilograms per month compared to letting the fan run at the lowest level.
