There are some Electrical devices which, however "innocent" they may seem, hide traps in the consumption of electricity.
With the energy crisis ongoing, many households are restricting the use of certain electrical devices in order to respond to inflated electricity prices.
Let's see below which are these "innocent" electrical appliances, which burn the most stream and how to save money on your electricity bill.
The electrical appliances that burn the most electricity
Hairdryer
One of the classic traps, of those devices that inflate electricity bills without us realizing it, is the hair dryer.
It is a particularly energy-intensive device that consumes a lot of power even if we use it sparingly.
Refrigerator
The older the refrigerator, the more energy it consumes. And as with all old electrical appliances, these run 24/XNUMX and are extremely power-hungry.
In addition to changing the refrigerator and replacing the old one with a newer generation, another way you can reduce the energy consumption of the refrigerator is to do a check on the insulation of its door. Put a piece of paper on the door and close it. If the paper stays in place then the door is properly closed. Otherwise a change is needed. End, try not to open your refrigerator all the time, and if you do, don't leave it open for too long.
Devices on hold
Many times you spend electricity without realizing it. This happens with devices that are on standby, such as televisions, computers, or tablets and mobile phones that stay for hours in a charging state. Be sure to turn off all these devices when not in use and unplug them when you go to bed.
Air conditioner
The air conditioner burns a lot of electricity, however inverter type air conditioners save a lot by producing thermal energy more than 3 times more than a common air heater. But what is the right temperature to set the air conditioner? The correct temperature is 10 degrees above the outside temperature in winter and 10 degrees below the outside temperature in summer.
Dehumidifier
How much energy it will consume depends on the time it works and the humidity level it is set to. So that you don't burn too much electricity and don't consume large amounts of energy you can close the room (doors and windows) in which you have placed the dehumidifier.
Water heater
The actual amount of energy you use when you turn on the water heater has a lot to do with the type and size of the water heater and how long you need to shower. In order not to spend too much electricity, you need to reduce the temperature on the water heater's thermostat. Obviously you should never leave it on for more than 30-40 minutes. Take advantage of the night current which is more economical and try to take shorter showers. Wash your clothes in cold or lukewarm water.
Oven / Toaster / Toaster
The oven is the one that consumes the most energy out of the three above and if it is not necessary it is better not to use it regularly. So, when possible, use the grill or even the toaster.
