Remind! If these 4 "plugs" are not pulled, the electricity bill at home will rise, so it must be unplugged!
Some time ago, I went back to my hometown to live for a month, I thought that after I came back, I didn't need to pay the electricity bill at home, but I didn't expect to receive the electricity bill just after I got home, and no one lived at home for more than a month, but it still consumed twenty or thirty kilowatt-hours of electricity, which really made people wonder.
I thought it was someone at home who "stole electricity", but after calling the staff to ask, I realized that it was not someone who stole electricity, but because some of the plugs at home were not unplugged when we went out, and a certain amount of electricity was consumed.
Remind everyone: The following 4 plugs must be unplugged, otherwise the electricity bill will rise.
01 set-top box
Many friends may ignore the power consumption of the set-top box, and think that a small set-top box will not consume much power, so the set-top box at home is always in a state of power.
I always thought that the power consumption of the set-top box must be very small, even if it is plugged in all the time, it can't consume a few dollars, but I realized that the original small set-top box can also consume so much electricity, and I feel that I have paid a lot of electricity bills in vain.
Take my set-top box as an example, the standby power is about 15.2 watts.
There was no one in my house last month, but the set-top box was always in standby mode with power on, which consumed an extra 10.94 kilowatt-hours of electricity in this month.
If you don't usually use the set-top box or go out, then you must remember to unplug the set-top box, which can reduce some power consumption and reduce the electricity bill of fifty or sixty yuan in a year.
02 router
The router at the home of the vast majority of friends has not been powered off since the beginning of use, and if the router is directly powered on, it will be particularly convenient for our mobile phones and computers to be directly connected to the Internet after returning home, so we have never unplugged the router.
However, everyone also ignores the standby power consumption of the router, the power of the router used in my house is about 10 watts, and if it is not turned off for a month, then it will consume 7.2 kilowatts of electricity.
Although the router is always powered on, it will be more convenient to use the Internet at ordinary times, but it will also produce a lot of unnecessary power consumption, so remind everyone to turn off the router at home when not in use.
In addition, you should also pay attention to the fact that if the router is working all the time, the network speed at home will also be affected to a certain extent.
Unplug the router appropriately and let the router "rest" for a while, and the network speed at home will be faster.
03 Air conditioning
I have always ignored the standby power consumption of the air conditioner, and when there was no one at home last month, the air conditioner was also in standby mode, and when I went home to check, I found that it also consumed a lot of additional electricity bills.
Some time ago, the weather was relatively hot, so the air conditioner at home has always been in a charging state, so it will be more convenient to turn on the air conditioner directly with the remote control when the weather is hot, so I forgot to unplug the outlet of the air conditioner when I went out for a month.
In the state of not unplugging the air conditioning socket, the standby power consumption of the air conditioner is about a few watts to more than ten watts, which is equivalent to the power of an energy-saving lamp, so it will consume eight or nine kilowatts of electricity more in a month.
Recently, the weather has gradually cooled, and basically the air conditioner will not be used anymore, so remind everyone to unplug the outlet of the air conditioner, do not let the air conditioner be in standby mode for a long time, and avoid unnecessary consumption.
04 Electric water heater
The electric water heater can be said to be an electrical appliance that consumes a lot of electricity in our home, and in order to facilitate the use of hot water, the electric water heater at most friends' homes is in a state of electricity.
If the electric water heater used in your home runs at 2 kilowatts, then the electricity consumption in an hour will be about two kilowatts.
Electric water heaters are heated repeatedly after the water has cooled, and a certain amount of electricity is consumed in the process.
If the electric water heater is in a state of insulation, then the electric water heater of about 2000 watts consumes about two kilowatts of electricity in an hour.
It is recommended that you unplug the power of the electric water heater when you are not using it, which can reduce some unnecessary power consumption.
If you often use the water heater, then you can also choose to install a timer switch to set the timer heating according to the living needs of yourself and your family, which can save a certain amount of electricity consumption.
Write at the end of the article:
Although it may not be a lot of power consumed by an appliance in the standby state, if all the appliances in the home are in standby mode, it will also consume a lot of electricity in a year, so remind everyone that it is best to do the survey without using electrical appliances.
