Everyone has questions about the cost of electricity. We don't feel like we're using much electricity, but we have to pay a high monthly electricity bill. For renters, this is more evident to them. Even if there are almost no electrical appliances at home, why do you have to pay so much electricity every month?
It turns out that the problem is with the 5 kinds of electrical appliances in our home, and if we don't unplug them, the electricity bill will be doubled. So what are the four types of electrical appliances? Let's take a look.
The first appliance that consumes a lot of electricity is a refrigerator. We put food in the refrigerator every day, whether it's vegetables or meat, all of it is stored in the refrigerator to keep it fresh in the summer. But the power consumption of refrigerators is very high and cannot be ignored. However, we can't unplug the fridge. What should I do?
The method is very simple, we can prepare a few bottles of mineral water, fill them with tap water for about eight minutes, and then put them in the freezer and freeze them into ice cubes. Once the ice cubes are frozen, place them in the crisper compartment, which will lower the temperature of the crisper compartment.
In the summer, when the indoor temperature is high, if the fresh-keeping compartment is not set to the lowest temperature, the refrigerator compressor will run frequently, which will increase the power consumption. At this time, put the prepared ice cubes into the fresh-keeping room, which can reduce the temperature of the fresh-keeping room, reduce the frequent work of the compressor, and achieve the effect of saving electricity. This method is both practical and saves us a lot of money.
The second appliance that consumes a lot of electricity is an induction cooker rice cooker. If we don't use the cooker for a long time, be sure to unplug it, because even if it's in standby, it will consume a lot of electricity over the course of a month. Sometimes we feel like we don't use much electrical appliances this month, but the electricity bill is high next month because we forget to unplug the cooker.
The third appliances that consume a lot of electricity are water dispensers and computers. If we don't use the water dispenser and computer, be sure to unplug it. As long as there is water, the water dispenser will stay heated all the time, and after a while, it will become an indicator light, and then reheat, so that a lot of electricity will be wasted at the end of the day.
The fourth appliance that consumes a lot of electricity is the air conditioner. If we don't use the air conditioner, leaving it on standby will also consume a lot of electricity. In spring and autumn, we usually don't need to use air conditioning. If you have a family member who doesn't use the air conditioner in the summer or winter, you can unplug it and plug it in when you need it.
In addition, there are two appliances to be aware of, namely the wall-hung boiler and the water heater. If you don't use them, be sure to turn them off. Wall-hung boilers and water heaters also consume electricity when left on, and they consume even more electricity than air conditioners. Therefore, be sure to turn them off when not in use.
Do you know about these power-hungry appliances? By unplugging these appliances, we can effectively reduce our electricity consumption and thus our electricity bills. Therefore, I hope that everyone can develop a good habit of unplugging in daily life, which can save electricity and save money.
