Nowadays, we all live in an era of development, and in order to make life more convenient, we will add all kinds of home appliances.
And if you want to run your home appliances normally, the power supply problem is something we can't ignore.
Many owners have said that since moving into their new homes, the electricity bill has been getting higher and higher month by month, and they are very distressed every time they pay the electricity bill.
Actually, this situation has arisen,
The power supply bureau reminds: the four major "electricity thieves" at home, one consumes more electricity than the other, it is recommended to unplug the socket, below, let's take a detailed look at which four?
router
Nowadays, we are all inseparable from mobile phones and the Internet, and in order to be able to achieve Internet freedom, routers are an indispensable part.
Its main function is to radiate signals so that our mobile phones can receive the wifi network.
It's just that most people use routers in the wrong way, in order to be able to use it conveniently, we put it in a TV cabinet or other hidden space, and we usually don't care about it.
This approach is not right, the router seems to be a very small electrical appliance, but if it is not turned off for a long time, it is really power-consuming.
Although our demand for the network has increased, we must also let the router rest and rest, otherwise a lot of data will accumulate in it, resulting in an increase in power.
Especially for office workers, you usually can't use the router after going out, so you can unplug it and continue to use it when you get home.
Some studies have found that if the router is not turned off for a month, it will consume 7.2 kWh more power.
Let me tell you a little secret, turning off the router regularly can also make the network speed faster, because when you restart, it will automatically clear the memory, which is both power-saving and easy to use.
air conditioning
Air conditioning itself belongs to the big electricity users, in the summer and winter is the most frequent, in our life, in addition to learning the correct way to use air conditioning, but also pay attention to the problem of electricity.
For example, I found that in many families, when the air conditioner is not in use, the socket is not unplugged.
Because after the air conditioner is plugged in, the air conditioner will enter the standby state, which is also more power-consuming at this time, but you usually ignore it.
The power consumption of the air conditioner itself is relatively large, and if you don't unplug the outlet, this will cause the power to be doubled.
Under normal circumstances, we need to unplug the plug after using the air conditioner, especially in autumn and winter, when the air conditioner is in an idle state, and the plug should not continue to be plugged into the socket.
Computer
Whether you have a laptop or a desktop computer at home, we also need to pay attention to its power consumption.
The computer is really not used for a long time, but its power consumption is relatively high, especially the computer with various lights, which seems to be very beautiful, but it actually consumes a lot of electricity.
And the computer is the same as the TV, even if you turn it off, it will go into standby by itself.
The reason why it is designed is to make it easier for us to use it when we turn it on, and most people will default to this practice, thinking that it will not cost power if it has been turned off.
However, a professional investigation found that the computer consumes 3.6 degrees of electricity a month in the case of standby, and it will consume 43 degrees more in a year. Therefore, we can prepare a switch socket for the computer, and after the computer is turned off, the power of the socket will be cut off to prevent electricity theft.
Electric water heater
The electric water heater is the most frequently used electrical appliance in summer, because the weather is hot and the body sweats, and only the bath will feel cool.
If your electric water heater is not first-class energy efficient, or instantaneous, be sure to develop the habit of unplugging, which can not only extend the life of the water heater, but also save a lot of electricity.
The water heater is very power-intensive when heating, and when you are at work or not at home, the water heater will still heat up repeatedly.
Therefore, when we are not in use, we can unplug the socket and let it boil water half an hour before each bath.
Developing such a good habit can help you save a lot of money, and at the same time, we also need to regularly check the magnesium rod of the water heater and clean the scale, which can improve the thermal efficiency and prevent electricity consumption.
Write at the end:
The above electrical appliances are all electricity thieves, we must not ignore in life, if you do not pull out the socket, the total will add up to a lot of electricity.
