Refrigerators
Refrigerators are appliances that are typically kept running throughout the day in households. As a result, while the energy consumption of these devices is relatively low, they can contribute significantly to overall electricity costs over time.
On average, smaller refrigerators with a capacity of 150 liters and a power rating of 100-150 W will consume between 1.5 kWh and 2.25 kWh of electricity per day. This amounts to a minimum monthly consumption of 45 kWh for a small refrigerator.
According to experts, a larger refrigerator with a power consumption of 170-210 W will use approximately 3 kWh per day, which equates to 90 kWh per month.
Desktop Computers and Laptops
Desktop computers and laptops continue to draw power even when you shut them down using the “Turn Off” command. On average, these devices consume about 96 W per day, which can add up to three unnecessary units of electricity on your monthly bill for each computer in your household. Therefore, it is advisable to unplug your computers after use to save on energy costs and prolong the lifespan of your devices.
Televisions
Televisions are integral appliances in modern households, with many families owning multiple sets for convenience. Televisions top the list of energy-consuming devices, particularly those with display screens, which are now integrated into various other household appliances.
Notably, televisions that are constantly plugged into a power source and only turned off using the remote control can contribute significantly to your electricity bill. To save energy, it is recommended to unplug your television from the power outlet after use.
Electric and Induction Stoves
In modern times, electric and induction stoves have become common in households due to their safety advantages over gas stoves and their ability to maintain a cooler environment during cooking. However, these conveniences come at a cost, as these stoves consume more electricity than air conditioners. The amount of electricity used during cooking can be significant. To conserve energy when using electric or induction stoves, consider the following tips:
Turn off the stove a few minutes early and utilize the residual heat to finish cooking your meal. This way, your food will be thoroughly cooked and delicious while using less electricity.
