The most power-consuming appliances

Water heater: The water heater is one of the most power-consuming appliances in the home. It usually runs at about 3000 watts and consumes about 2 degrees of electricity per hour.

Air conditioner: Air conditioners use more power when cooling, usually between 2000-3000 watts per hour. In standby mode, the power of the air conditioner may also be between 1500-2500 watts. The air conditioner is in a special location and is usually plugged in all year round, which is also a big consumer of electricity.

TV: TV power can reach 50-190 watts when in use, the family often appears in the phenomenon of the TV set is open but no one to watch, which greatly increases the power consumption of the TV set. And its standby power between 0.7-8.8 watts, although the TV itself is relatively small power consumption, but a long time standby will also increase power consumption.

Refrigerator: Although the refrigerator works 24 hours a day, the refrigeration compressor does not run continuously, so it has less power in standby. However, the power consumption of a refrigerator is also affected by household usage habits and the performance of the refrigerator.

Router: Routers in standby mode have a power of about 2 watts, although the power is small, but long time standby will also consume more power.

Some electrical appliances that do not seem to consume power on the surface, standby and use for a long time, will also produce a considerable amount of power consumption.

Factors affecting power consumption

1. Electricity consumption is affected by economic, social, environmental and climatic factors. Among them, changes in temperature, especially extreme temperatures, are one of the main reasons that affect changes in electricity consumption of urban and rural residents as well as change the gap between urban and rural electricity consumption.

2. In the hot summer months, fans and air conditioners work almost all the time, and whenever you go out, you cannot avoid sweating, and you will need to take a shower every day. The need for chilled food also increases the frequency of refrigerator use. All these add up to a significant amount of power consumption.

3. During the cold winter months, most people want to stay indoors where it is warm, which increases the likelihood of appliances being used. And with air conditioners in heating mode, which requires a reversal of the cooling cycle and possible electric assisted heating, the power consumption of air conditioners usually increases.

How to reduce power consumption

1. Use energy-saving light bulbs, LED lights and energy-saving lamps are more energy-efficient and have a longer service life than traditional incandescent lamps.

2. Use air-conditioning sensibly. Set the air-conditioning temperature at around 26°C in summer and no higher than 20°C in winter, avoiding settings that are too low or too high. Clean the air-conditioning filters regularly and keep the vents open.

3. Optimize the use of the refrigerator, avoid opening and closing the refrigerator door frequently, keep the inside of the refrigerator clean, defrost it regularly, and set the temperature reasonably. 3.4 Use the washing machine efficiently, choose the appropriate washing mode according to the amount of clothes, try to wash a full load, and use a high-efficiency, water-saving washing machine.

4. Choose energy-saving water heaters, choose water heaters with appropriate capacity according to family needs, and avoid prolonged idling.

5. Change living habits, turn off the lights as you go, reasonably arrange the use of home appliances, and avoid turning on multiple high-power appliances at the same time.

Solar power systems can help families reduce electricity bills

Solar panels provide power to families by absorbing the sun’s energy and converting it into electricity. This not only reduces a family’s dependence on traditional electricity, but also lowers the family’s energy costs to a certain extent. Solar water heaters utilize solar energy to provide hot water to the household to meet the household’s hot water needs, further reducing the consumption of traditional energy. Solar air-conditioning systems utilize solar energy to provide heating and cooling functions for families, realizing the cooling and heating needs of families and improving the comfort of the living or working environment.
