Devices that consume a lot of electricity
Household appliances that use a large amount of electricity or are used frequently on a daily, monthly, or even year-round basis are definitely sources of high electricity consumption that you need to reduce or learn how to use efficiently to save money.
Air conditioner
This is definitely the device that consumes the most electricity during the hot summer. Especially on days when the temperature reaches over 37 degrees Celsius, the higher the temperature, the higher the air conditioner’s power and electricity consumption, resulting in higher electricity bills.
How to use the air conditioner to save electricity:
– Choose and buy an Inverter air conditioner to save energy.
– Install it properly for efficient operation. Ensure that the room is sealed so that no cold air escapes when the air conditioner is running.
– Do not turn the air conditioner on and off continuously for short periods of time because each time it starts, the air conditioner requires a lot of power to start the compressor and fan.
– Turn off the air conditioner’s power switch when not in use for a long time to avoid unnecessary power consumption and energy wastage.
– Do not run the air conditioner 24/7 and set a timer to turn it on and off at night when the room has cooled down and the outdoor temperature has dropped, reducing the heat.
Refrigerator
The refrigerator is a device that consumes a lot of electricity and operates almost year-round. Therefore, it is necessary to optimize its usage for efficiency.
How to use the refrigerator to save electricity:
– Use an Inverter refrigerator to save energy, consuming 30-50% less electricity compared to regular refrigerators.
– Use a refrigerator with an appropriate capacity for your needs, avoid using a large refrigerator that is not fully utilized and wastes energy.
– Limit opening and closing the refrigerator frequently within a short period of time, as it takes more energy to cool down the warm air that enters the refrigerator each time it is opened.
– Clean the refrigerator regularly to enhance its cooling performance without increasing its power consumption.
– Only store items that really need to be refrigerated to save energy.
Washing machine
The washing machine is also one of the devices that consume a lot of electricity. To minimize the cost of electricity, it is essential to optimize its usage and save efficiently.
How to use the washing machine to save electricity:
– Choose a washing machine with Inverter technology to save energy.
– Select the appropriate washing mode and time, avoid using too much detergent at once, which leads the machine to continuously drain water and consume more electricity.
– Hand wash clothes that can be washed by hand.
– Do not overload the washing machine beyond its capacity, as it will cause the machine to operate at full capacity continuously, reducing its lifespan.
Water heater
If the air conditioner is the “king of electricity bills” in the summer, then the water heater takes the throne in the cold winter. Using a water heater for bathing, dishwashing, and daily activities during the freezing winter increases the electricity consumption significantly.
How to use the water heater to save electricity:
– Only turn it on 15 minutes before taking a shower, do not leave it on 24/7 to maintain a high temperature, as it consumes a lot of electricity.
– Use a water heater with an appropriate capacity for the number of people in the family, avoid using a larger water heater that is not fully utilized.
– Turn off the power switch when the water reaches the desired temperature, do not use it while it is on to avoid electrical leakage.
Electric kettle
An electric kettle is designed to quickly boil water with a power rating of over 2000W, which consumes a lot of electricity if used frequently.
How to use the electric kettle to save electricity:
– Boil only the amount of water needed each time, do not boil an excessive amount.
– Do not overfill the kettle, as boiling water may overflow and cause dangerous accidents.
– Use a kettle made of standard stainless steel and heat-resistant plastic for safety.
Tumble dryer, clothes dryer
Humid days, drizzles without sunlight make it difficult to wash and dry clothes quickly. Clothes often have an unpleasant odor. Therefore, a tumble dryer or clothes dryer is a suitable choice. However, the power of a dryer is also over 2000W, resulting in a significant amount of electricity consumed when used frequently.
How to use the tumble dryer to save electricity:
– Set the drying mode suitable for the amount of clothes, sheets, or blankets to avoid excess power consumption.
– Damp clothes dry faster when put in the dryer compared to putting them in the dryer right after washing.
– On sunny days, you can hand wash and dry clothes in a well-ventilated area to save on dryer usage.
Desktop computer
Desktop computers that operate continuously also consume a significant amount of electricity compared to other electrical devices. Therefore, to save electricity, you should turn off the computer after each use.
In addition, there are other electrical devices that, if not used properly, will waste electricity and result in higher monthly electricity bills. You can refer to the following electricity-saving methods through immediate actions today:
1. Turn off all electrical devices when leaving the house, unplug them when not in use.
2. Use energy-saving light bulbs such as LED or fluorescent bulbs instead of incandescent bulbs.
3. Keep the house clean and tidy (a clean house feels cooler), organize belongings properly to ensure ventilation without using fans or air conditioners excessively, reducing the use of electrical devices.
4. Replace old devices with new ones that have superior functions and integrate energy-saving technologies such as inverter air conditioners, inverter refrigerators, inverter washing machines, etc.
5. Occasionally, hand wash clothes instead of using the washing machine, wash dishes by hand to save electricity.
6. Use smart electrical devices that automatically turn off when not in use or according to predefined settings to avoid wastage.
7. Avoid using multiple electrical devices during peak hours when the power supply is unstable, as these devices need to increase their power output to perform as desired, resulting in higher electricity consumption.
8. Water conservation also contributes to saving electricity.
