talks about decoration and shares various experiences and knowledge about decoration. Hello everyone, I’m talking about decoration. Follow me to learn more about decoration!
Have you noticed that the current electricity bill is rising , but I always feel that there are no electrical appliances!
In fact, the problem lies in the electrical appliances waiting for power, because they belong to the "electric thief" at home. Simply put, it means that the plug is not unplugged after use, and the home appliances still consume electricity without shutting down. This phenomenon is professionally called "standby energy consumption". In this issue, let’s talk about decoration and share the power consumption of several commonly used electrical appliances at home. You will never imagine the first place!
No. 6: Washing machine
Washing machine is a must-have for every family and one of the must-use electrical appliances in every family. It is also known as one of the magical tools for to free both hands .
As a washing machine, if the power supply is not turned off after use and put it in a standby state, there will be about 0.03-0.05 watts of electricity, and the power consumption of is about 3-5 kWh per year.
This kind of power consumption is actually not much, and it will not have any impact on the household electricity bill. However, frequent pulling out the washing machine socket is not only a problem, but sometimes your hands are still wet after washing your clothes, which will cause safety hazards , so how to do it is very concerned about everyone.
Power saving tips: Use socket with switch in the washing machine position, so that after each use, just press the switch gently and the power of the washing machine will be completely cut off. Or you can add an smart power-off socket to the socket, and then power off when not in use, which can reduce the probability of short circuit.
No. 5: Air conditioner
Central air conditioner, air duct machine, cabinet machine, wall-mounted machine. These air conditioning forms, if the plug is not removed, it is in standby standby state. "Power Stealing" stole the electricity consumption silently, which naturally generated more electricity bills.
Take the wall-mounted air conditioner as an example. The standby power is 1.11 watts, and the power consumption of per year is about 10.5 kWh.
If it is a 3P cabinet, air duct, and central air conditioner, the standby power will be greater. Therefore, generally speaking, if the air conditioner at home is in standby state, then the power is about 12.5 watts, and will consume about 9 degrees of electricity in a month.
power saving tips: does not use air conditioner for a long time after the season change. You must unplug the plug of the air conditioner and completely cut off the power supply. For example, the central air conditioner can open in the total distribution box to pull down to cut off the power.
fourth place: desktop computer
computers are now available in every family, because adults need to use it to work and study, and children need to use it to learn.
For families, desktop computers are relatively more affordable, faster to run, and more convenient after-sales service, so they are more popular among people.
However, after most people use up their computers, they just choose to shut down the computer host and monitor, but they do not completely shut down and are in standby state. As a monitor, the standby power is about 0.8W, and the power consumption of is about 14 kW per year.
Power saving tips: is used as a socket for computers. You can use five-hole with switches. In this way, just press the switch lightly every time, the computer will completely cut off the power and save power.
third place: Lightmao, router
is now the "small screen" era of . Mobile phones and tablets are the dominant ones at home, and their daily life is also inseparable from them.
. For devices like Lightmax and routers, generally does not have breaks throughout the year, and occasionally it will be powered off for a few minutes to automatically clean the cache.
Although the power of optical cat and router is very small, it is in a standby state for a long time, so it consumes power. For example, the power of Lightmax is about 4.6W, and consumes about 40 kWh of electricity per year; the router power is about 3.4W, and consumes about 30 kWh of electricity per year. One plus of the two is a lot in a year.
power saving tips: both the optical cat and the sockets at the router location are recommended to use five-hole with switch. Even if you use a plug-in, it is recommended to use with power-off button on it. This way, when there is no one at home during the day, it can be cut off when there is no one at home. While saving power, it can also automatically clean the cache, making the Internet faster.
second place: water storage electric water heater
Due to restrictions on conditions, the hot water supply of many households is carried out through water storage electric water heater, that is, a storage bucket-type water heater installed on the roof of the bathroom. If a water heater like
is usually not heated, the power of this kind is only about 3 watts, and the power consumes about 2 degrees of electricity per month for , basically no waste of electricity.
However, in order to ensure that the hot water in the storage bucket is always at a water temperature of about 250 degrees , needs to be heated from time to time so that it can be kept in a hot water state.
Repeated heating will allow the hot water to be heated in a state of constant time and will not produce a certain amount of power consumption. Like an electric water heater of about 40 liters, the needs about 2 kilowatt-hours of electricity for one hour. If the is a 60-liter electric water heater, the power consumption will be more for one hour of working. And it will also increase power consumption due to the indoor temperature difference.
Simply put, the electric water heater belongs to the "power consumption" of at home, and is also a "electric thief".
Power saving tips: water storage electric water heater, it is recommended not to keep it in standby mode at normal times, and it is necessary to use as long as you open . You can install smart socket on the socket of the electric water heater to control it on the phone, so that the water heater will automatically turn on when you get off work. After you get home, the hot water temperature is exactly the best state for taking a bath.
The advantage of doing this is that can not only save power , but also increase the service life of of the water heater , and also increase the security of on use .
No. 1: set-top box
The biggest "cell thief" in the family is: TV set-top box ! TV set-top box! TV set-top box! !
Seeing this result, it’s hard for you to think of it! It can even be said that you would never have thought that the small set-top box is the largest standby "cell thief" in your home.
National Grid Metering Center engineers tested this, and the results were shocking: the power of the set-top box when standby is the largest! Sure enough, people cannot behave like appearances, and they cannot be measured by the size of the power consumption!
Most families' set-top boxes are not closed at all. Basically, they just close the motor and set-top boxes through the remote control. They even turn off the appliances, but they don't close the set-top boxes. They think that small devices don't use a lot of electricity bills, trying to save trouble.
, though, the standby power of the set-top box is about 15.2 watts. If the set-top box is not turned off, the power during operation is 15.48 watts.
If the set-top box stands for 24 hours a day, it will be calculated based on 30 days per month. The monthly power consumption is about: 0.0152 kW × 24 hours/day × 30 days = 9 kWh, that is, about 9 kWh. After a year, more than 100 kilowatt-hours of electricity were wasted and "stolen"!
power saving tips: If the TV at home is still watching TV programs through a set-top box, then you must make turn on immediately and install with switches to facilitate every switch.
Finally, let’s talk about decoration and summarize it for you:
standby ≠ shut down, and the appliances are still consuming power after standby. At the same time, try to avoid charging commonly used power-consuming items such as mobile phones, tablets, and power banks all night. Turn off electrical appliances that have not been used for a long time in a timely manner, unplug the power plug, and completely cut off the power. This can effectively prevent the occurrence of "invisible" electricity bills and achieve the goal of saving power.
