Nowadays, every household has multiple electrical devices running at the same time. Some devices need to be constantly running, but there are also devices that only operate for a certain period of time. Developing the habit of unplugging electrical devices when they are not in use can help us save a lot of electricity.
The reason for this is that some devices, even though the OFF button is pressed on the control panel, are still running and consuming energy. This is especially true for these 4 types of household appliances, where your electricity bill will double if you don’t unplug them when they are not in use.
Water heater
Many people do not want to unplug or turn off the power of their water heater because they want to have hot water readily available when needed. Turning it off would mean waiting for the water to boil again when needed. However, not turning off the power of the water heater after use results in wasted energy.
The reason is that leaving the plug always plugged in will make the water heater run 24/7. Whenever the water temperature drops, the water heater will automatically turn on and start heating, and it will stop functioning when the temperature reaches the standard level.
This leads to unnecessary energy waste. Unplugging the water heater can save you at least a few hundred thousand VND on your electricity bill every year.
Air conditioner
In the hot summer, air conditioners have become an essential device in our daily lives. Many people have the habit of turning on the air conditioner when it’s hot and turning it off when the room temperature cools down, in order to save electricity. They turn it back on when they feel hot again.
However, frequently turning the air conditioner on and off consumes a lot of electricity, because each time it restarts, the motor inside the air conditioner runs at a high power for a short period of time, which can be just a few minutes but consumes a lot of energy. To save electricity, it is best to keep the air conditioner running at a stable temperature and avoid frequent on and off.
Nevertheless, very few households can afford to use the air conditioner 24/7. Most people turn on the air conditioner during the day and in the evening. During this period, it is advisable to unplug or turn off the power of the air conditioner, not just press the OFF button on the control panel.
Otherwise, the air conditioner still consumes a certain amount of energy, resulting in energy waste. If you don’t believe it, try unplugging your air conditioner after use and compare your electricity bill for this month with the previous month, you will be amazed.
Television
Television also consumes a lot of energy if it is constantly plugged in. Most TV manufacturers today do not completely turn off their TVs. When you use the remote control to turn off the TV, you think that the TV is off, but in reality, it is in a “sleep state”. The TV is still running at a low power with a weak power supply to be able to quickly respond when turned back on.
Rice cooker
Rice cookers are indispensable electrical appliances in every household nowadays, but do you unplug the rice cooker after the rice is cooked? Most likely, the answer is no. Many people leave the plug plugged in to keep the rice warm until it’s time to eat, and only unplug it then.
However, in reality, after the rice is cooked, the inside of the rice cooker is already at a high temperature, and simply closing the lid will keep the rice warm naturally. Unplugging the rice cooker at this point can help us save more electricity and avoid unnecessary energy waste.
