In every family there are many electrical devices. Nowadays, many people have a habit of using electrical devices but often don’t unplug them and leave them plugged in for months or even years without unplugging them. In reality, this will increase electricity consumption, resulting in unnecessary waste and higher electricity bills. Therefore, these electrical devices should be unplugged after use at home.
4 types of plugs that should be unplugged after use to save electricity
1. Air conditioner plug
When the weather gets hot, we turn on the air conditioner to cool down. Generally, the air conditioner is used more often in the summer and is turned on and off frequently, so it can be kept plugged in for a few months during the hot season. However, in other seasons, when we don’t use the air conditioner, we should unplug it.
Furthermore, even in the summer, if your family is going on a long trip for about a week, you should unplug the air conditioner. When the air conditioner is always plugged in, it will be in standby mode, which will also consume some electricity. Therefore, if you are not using the air conditioner for a period of time, it is best to unplug it to avoid wasting electricity.
2. Electric kettle with automatic keep warm function
After the electric kettle has boiled water, if we don’t unplug it, it will automatically boil the water back to the boiling point when it cools down. This is because the electric kettle has a mechanism to keep the water at a stable temperature. Therefore, the water in the electric kettle will be boiled continuously if the plug is not unplugged, resulting in relatively high energy consumption. In the summer, when the weather is hot, and we often drink cold water, it is recommended to unplug the kettle after boiling water to save electricity.
3. TV and Wi-Fi router plugs
Even when these plugs are in standby mode and not in use, they will still consume electricity. Therefore, it is best to unplug these plugs before going to bed at night. This simple action will help you reduce unnecessary power consumption.
And just like the Wi-Fi router, we often leave it on for 365 days a year. In fact, if the router is always on and never turned off, it can not only affect the cooling ability but also the network speed. Therefore, before going to bed every day, we should turn it off to allow the device to rest and ensure stable network speed.
4. Electric rice cooker plug
After the electric rice cooker has finished cooking rice, many people have a habit of keeping it plugged in to keep the rice warm. In reality, this also consumes a significant amount of electricity because keeping the rice warm also requires a certain amount of energy. In general, when the rice in the electric rice cooker is cooked, we can unplug it after a few minutes. This will save more electricity.
Currently, household electricity prices are charged at different levels: from level 1 to level 6, and level 6 is the most expensive. If we use electricity wastefully, even a few units of electricity difference will push us into a higher price tier. It’s not difficult to calculate that even a year’s difference in electricity fees can add up to a significant amount of money.
