The meter reader reminds: Unplug these 4 appliances at home when they run out, otherwise the monthly electricity bill will be doubled
I. Introduction
Appliances have become an indispensable part of our daily lives. They bring great convenience to our lives, but if they are not used properly, they can also bring some unnecessary troubles, such as high electricity bills. As a meter reader, I found a common problem during my home visits: many people do not unplug appliances in time after using them, resulting in appliances being on standby and wasting a lot of electricity. Therefore, this article will introduce you to four common electrical appliances, tell you why you should unplug them in time after use, and how to avoid unnecessary electricity bills.
2. Washing machine
Storyline: Xiao Ming is a housewife who picks on the door, and in order to save water and electricity, he always chooses to use the washing machine late at night. One day, he forgot to unplug the washing machine after washing clothes, and the next morning he found that the display of the washing machine was still on, and he realized that he had wasted the electricity of the whole night, and Xiao Ming regretted it.
Experience sharing: Washing machine is one of the high-power appliances commonly used in the family. Even in standby mode, it consumes a lot of power. Therefore, it is very necessary to unplug it in time after use. In addition, we also have the option of buying a washing machine with a timer function, which can set the time when we need to use it and avoid unnecessary waste caused by forgetting to unplug it.
3. Television
Storyline: Xiaoling is a TV fan who has to follow dramas until late at night every night. One day, she suddenly felt that the body of the TV was a little hot, so she checked the plug and found that the plug had been plugged into the socket, and she quickly unplugged it before breathing a sigh of relief.
Experience sharing: As an important equipment for home entertainment, TV is often used by people. However, many people ignore the detail of unplugging after watching TV. In fact, the TV will also consume a certain amount of power in the standby state, and it is a waste of power to use it for a long time without unplugging it. Therefore, remember to unplug the TV every time you use it, which can not only save electricity bills, but also extend the life of the TV.
Fourth, microwave oven
Storyline: Xiao Hua is a young man who lives alone, and in order to save time, he often uses the microwave oven to heat food. Once, he went out in a hurry and forgot to unplug the microwave, and it was not until he came home in the evening that he found that the microwave had been on standby, and he couldn't help but sigh at his carelessness.
Experience sharing: Although the microwave oven is a convenient and quick heating tool, it is necessary to unplug it in time after use. Because even if the microwave oven is not working, its components such as the display and electronic controller are still consuming power in standby. Therefore, in order to save on electricity bills, remember to unplug the microwave oven every time you use it to avoid unnecessary energy waste.
5. Air conditioning
Storyline: Xiao Zhang is a person who pays attention to the quality of life, and often uses air conditioners to regulate the indoor temperature in summer. Once, he forgot to turn off the remote control of the air conditioner, causing the air conditioner to stay on until he came home from work, and he stomped his feet in anger.
Experience sharing: Air conditioner is one of the most power-hungry appliances in the home, and many people ignore the detail of turning off the remote control after using it. Even if the air conditioner is not in the cooling or heating state, it will consume a lot of electricity if it is kept in standby mode for a long time. Therefore, after each use of the air conditioner, not only should you turn off the remote control, but also remember to unplug it to avoid unnecessary electricity bills.
VI. Conclusion
Through the above stories and experience sharing, we can see that unplugging electrical appliances in time is an effective way to save electricity and reduce electricity bills. Therefore, in daily life, we should develop a good habit of unplugging electrical appliances immediately after using them to avoid unnecessary energy waste. At the same time, we can also use some smart sockets or timers and other devices to help us better manage the electrical appliances in the home, improve energy efficiency, and jointly build an energy-saving and environmentally friendly family and society.
