Since the discovery of electricity as an energy source, electricity has been widely used, and now every household is equipped with a variety of household appliances, but while electricity brings convenience to people, the high cost of electricity also adds to the burden.
There are 5 kinds of household appliances at home, after use, remember to unplug them, otherwise the electricity bill will rise, and it is not conducive to electricity safety.
So what are the 5 types of home appliances, and how to use them safely and effectively?
air conditioning
In a variety of high-power electrical appliances, air conditioning is undoubtedly one of the representatives, in the hot summer, air conditioning can be described as a summer artifact, not only to drive away heat, but also to let you experience the coolness of autumn in summer.
It is also because of the excellent cooling performance of air conditioners that they are chosen by countless families, and many families have to install several. However, although the air conditioner is good, it does cost a lot of electricity, especially for those who have several air conditioners in their homes, even if they use energy-saving air conditioners, they will have to pay hundreds of dollars more electricity a month.
This is only summer, some areas have no heating, and air conditioning is also needed for heating in winter, and air conditioning is more expensive to heat than cooling, and the monthly electricity bill is unaffordable.
In order to be cool and warm, and thus consume electricity, this is unavoidable and acceptable to most families, but what many people don't know is that air conditioning is also very power-hungry when it is on standby.
Some families don't use air conditioning for heating in winter, and they only use it in summer all year round, but the plug of the air conditioner is always at the power supply, which is actually very power-consuming, after all, the time is there.
In order to save electricity and ensure the safety of electricity, the plug must be unplugged in the season when the air conditioner is not used.
In addition, there are some tips to save electricity when using air conditioners. When some people use the air conditioner in summer, they turn it off directly after a long time, and only when the temperature rises, will they continue to turn on the air conditioner to cool down, and reduce electricity consumption by shortening the use time.
This is actually incorrect, in the air conditioner into the normal operation mode, the electricity consumed is not much, the most expensive to use the air conditioner is to turn on that time, to avoid frequent switching.
The temperature set by the air conditioner should not be too different from the outdoor temperature, which will increase the burden of the air conditioner, thereby increasing the electricity consumption of the air conditioner, and the reasonable use of it can save a lot of costs in a year.
television set
Nowadays, with the development of the Internet, the number of people watching TV has decreased a lot, and people are more accustomed to watching various programs on the Internet, and perhaps only children and the elderly in the family can watch TV.
In some young homes, the TV is even dusty and may not be turned on for months, just sitting quietly in the living room without unplugging the TV.
Almost all household appliances,As long as you don't unplug the power plug,It's going to be standby,This is definitely much more power-saving than direct use,But after a long time,Even if it's a TV in standby state,It's also very power-consuming。
And many families also install set-top boxes on TVs, which are very power-intensive. Some people also know that the TV costs electricity for a long time to standby, but there are too many plugs on the TV, and it is not too convenient to install and unplug, so it has been idle there.
In order to save some electricity, it is best to unplug all the plugs, while saving resources, it can also reduce some electricity expenses, in fact, unplugging the TV, more for safety reasons.
Frequent thunderstorms in summer, those high-power electrical appliances have the risk of electric shock or fire, especially TV, the safety hazard is very large, and the plug must be unplugged to reduce the potential safety hazard.
Similarly, electronic products such as mobile phones must not be used in thunderstorms, which are easy to attract lightning and cause safety accidents.
washer
With the development of society, people not only love cleanliness more and more, but also become more and more exquisite in dressing, and as long as the clothes are worn, they will be dirty and need to be cleaned.
In the past, it was all manual cleaning, but now with the development of science and technology, there are washing machines to help us bear, especially in recent years, the rise of automatic washing machines has made people's lives more and more convenient.
Just throw the laundry into the washing machine, then set the program, the washing machine will automatically wash and spin dry, and when the set time is up, just take it out to dry.
However, it is also because of the convenience of the washing machine, which leads to many people leaving after using the washing machine, after collecting the clothes, without unplugging it at all, which is a great waste of electricity.
And washing machines are inseparable from water, many families place them next to water sources, where the air is very humid, and for a long time, the plug cannot be corroded, so as to find leakage.
Therefore, it is best to unplug the plug after each washing of clothes, which has achieved the effect of saving electricity and avoiding the risk of electricity consumption. Even if the washing machine is used very frequently at home, you should pay attention to this, and you must not increase the safety hazards for the sake of temporary convenience, and you must remember the safety of electricity.
What's more, the washing machines used in many rural areas today are still very old semi-automatic washing machines, which are installed next to the pool, and the safety risk here is greater, so we must pay attention to regular inspections to prevent leakage accidents.
water heater
Solar water heaters used to be popular all over the country, but they were quickly eliminated because their hot water effect was not very good, especially in winter, and it was difficult to meet people's daily needs for hot water.
Many homes today are equipped with smart water heaters, which have a large space to store water here for heating, and when in use, it will be continuously heated to meet people's needs.
Moreover, this kind of water heater continues to work even in the standby state, and the water in the bucket will continue to heat if it is not hot enough for a long time, which can be described as very power-consuming.
Therefore, after using a water heater like this that can be continuously heated, it is best to unplug it and plug it in when it needs to be used, which can not only save electricity, but also effectively avoid the risk of leakage.
Many family water heaters are installed in the bathroom, where the air humidity is relatively large, and the long-term erosion of the plug is easy to leak, but many water heaters have safety valves, leakage protectors and other facilities, but even so, it is necessary to be just in case.
Repeated heating of water will also have a certain impact on the water quality, and at the same time, the scale inside the water heater will become more and more, which will not only affect people's water safety, but also affect the life of the water heater.
rice cooker
With the continuous improvement of people's living standards, all kinds of furniture have also entered the kitchen, making it more convenient to make their meals, such as microwave ovens, induction cookers, rice cookers, etc.
And so many electrical appliances are very power-consuming, you must remember to unplug after use, among which the rice cooker is the most special, and its standby power consumption is also the largest.
Most rice cookers have a thermal insulation function, which will continuously heat the food in the pot, and there is no doubt that this mode has brought great convenience to people, and they can eat hot food anytime and anywhere, without the trouble of heating.
However, this is also extremely power-intensive, and it can be heated until it is eaten, reducing the loss of electricity, and also extending the service life of the rice cooker.
Therefore, when we use the rice cooker in our daily life, it is best to unplug the plug directly after use, which can save a lot of electricity bills, and also make the rice cooker last longer and accompany us longer.
epilogue
Our lives are full of all kinds of electrical appliances, which bring us convenience at the same time, but also bring huge power consumption and certain safety risks.
Therefore, after using household appliances, it is best to unplug the electrical appliances to reduce unnecessary power consumption, prolong the service life of household appliances, and avoid the risk of electricity consumption.
Air conditioners, washing machines, televisions, water heaters, rice cookers, and other household appliances consume more electricity in the standby state, and it is even more important to note that it is best to unplug them directly after use.
