On July 28, Nanning City implemented orderly electricity consumption, and recommended that residents use energy-saving lamps and electrical appliances as much as possible, turn off lights, reduce the use of high-power electrical equipment such as air conditioners and electric water heaters, and develop good low-carbon and energy-saving habits. Saving electricity bills at home has become a topic of concern to residents.
After the dog days of summer entered in July this year, Mr. Liu, a Nanning citizen, discovered that after turning on the air conditioner at home, the electricity bill from the first level was about to jump to the third level. How can I know electricity bill information in real time? How do those standby appliances consume power?

When electricity consumption rises to the third level, it will be calculated at 0.8283 yuan/degree
In July this year, Nanning’s monthly average high temperature ranked second in the past 60 years. At the end of July, Mr. Liu received a text message from the power supply department. The text message informed that since the cumulative electricity consumption in the home from January to June reached 3785 kilowatt-hours, it had been upgraded to the second level. It was also informed that the electricity in the home was about to enter the third level, and the electricity bill would be calculated at 0.8283 yuan/kWh. The text message also reminded Mr. Liu to use electricity scientifically and save electricity.
Mr. Liu said that in the past, the electricity bill at home was 200 yuan per month. In July, the electricity bill reached more than 400 yuan, which was 200 yuan more than usual. According to the current weather conditions, if the air conditioner continues to be turned on every day, the electricity bill this year will inevitably go up to the third level, which is a big expense. Mr. Liu’s living room air conditioner has a three-horsepower air conditioner. “It turns on too much in summer, so it seems necessary to adjust my electricity consumption habits.”
You can check the electricity bill and power consumption in real time.
After learning that she had become a large electricity consumer, Ms. Li, a citizen, asked on social platforms, how can she know the daily electricity consumption? Ms. Zhang immediately posted a power consumption chart. From the chart, we can see the remaining power at home with the annual stepped electricity price, as well as historical power consumption information. You can also understand the power consumption of each day through the power consumption calendar.
reporter learned from Nanning Power Supply Bureau that if you want to know the real-time electricity consumption at home, you can check it through WeChat. The first step is to search and follow the "China Southern Power Grid 95598" official account on WeChat; the second step is to enter the official account, bind the account number and enter the "My Electricity Consumption - Electricity Bill Check and Payment" interface. The third step is to enter "My Electricity Bill" and click the "Electricity Calendar" button to view the daily electricity consumption of the past 30 days according to the calendar.
Standby electrical appliances consume electricity, and the power quietly rises
Ms. Zhang’s family has six or seven people, so it is inevitable that she will consume a lot of electricity, and her home has been in the third level of electricity consumption for a long time. But she made a comparison: air conditioners are used the most in summer. If you replace the air conditioner with energy consumption level 3 at home with an inverter air conditioner with energy consumption level 1, you can save two-thirds of the electricity bill. Netizen "Steel" also said that the air conditioner in her home has a separate air switch. It is always on when in use and off when not in use. There is no need to pull out the plug, and it can also avoid long waiting times when not in use.

The reporter learned that many citizens often do not turn off the power of household appliances when they are not using them. Ms. Luo has an instant hot water dispenser at home. In order to make it easier for her children to drink water, she never turns off the power. One day, a colleague told me that despite the advertisements for water dispensers claiming that they save energy, in fact if the water dispenser is left on standby for a long time, the electricity bill per month will be more than ten yuan more than if the machine is turned off. In the long run, this is a large electricity bill.
Experts from Nanning Power Supply Bureau said that many people do not have the habit of unplugging electrical appliances after using them and feel that they do not use much electricity. In fact, this not only makes us pay more for electricity, but also wastes resources and is very detrimental to environmental protection and safety. After using an electrical appliance, unplug it or turn off the power switch immediately. Try to choose sockets (rows) with switches, such as one with five holes, one with three holes, etc., and turn off the power when you stop using electrical appliances. In particular, electric water heaters, air conditioners, washing machines and other electrical appliances consume a lot of power, so everyone should pay special attention to them.How does
