Devices that steal our electricity better than sneaky neighbors Bashny.Net

What electricity bill do you pay each month? This simple household question, unfortunately, often causes tears in the eyes. It is not surprising, because in the XXI century every day we have more and more needs for electricity. It is difficult to find a person who could do without light, refrigerator, stove, phone and TV. And this is only the minimum, but there is still a microwave, electric kettle, tablet, smart watch and other equipment necessary for a modern person. Editorial "Site" Which devices steal the most electricity every day?



Our editorial board was puzzled by the question of energy consumption and found out what “electric thieves” are in almost every house. Next, you will find a list of the 7 most gluttonous.

1. Television On average, one family has 2-3 TV sets. It is often turned off with the remote control, so the TV continues to work. sleepy And it still draws electricity. As a result, one “off” TV consumes approximately 25 W/day or 700 W/month!
   
   
   
   
   
   
2. Digital or satellite television Usually, such consoles are connected to TVs and with them do not disconnect completely from the network. At the same time, they consume about 150-200 W / day. That is, up to 6 kW per month.
   
   
   
   
   
   
3. Computer The same thing happened with a stationary computer. It seems to be off, but the computer included in the socket is able to pull 100 watts per day. It gets about 3 kW per month.
   
   
   
   
   
   
4. The refrigerator It is the only device that bypasses the television. However, unlike the latter, you can not turn off the refrigerator from the network, so it uses as much as 750 W / day. We get about 22-23 kW per month.
   
   By the way, there is one interesting nuance. The temperature is higher. In the kitchen, the more difficult it is to work the refrigerator and the more electricity it consumes. Therefore, do not install a refrigerator next to the stove or oven, if you do not want to overpay.
   
   
   
   
   
   
5. Electric kettle We advise you not to boil a full kettle of water if you plan to make only one cup of tea. So you can save money, and for health water, boiled several times, brings little benefit.

6. Washing machine Starting a semi-empty machine is unprofitable, since you will have to wash more often and energy consumption, respectively, will be more. Similarly, you should not tightly clog the drum of the washing machine, because then the energy for washing the device will need more than usual. It is important to adhere to the golden mean and load the device exactly as much as recommended by the manufacturer. And remember that a washing machine in sleep mode can steal about 20-30 watts / day.
   
   
   
   
   
   
7. Chargers They do not need a lot of electricity, about 1-1.5 W / day. But because we use them every day, in a month these kids pull a decent amount of electricity.
