Boyler, clothing car, or a househouse, who spends more?

According to recent research, there is a device, whose energy consumption significantly exceeds all others, which directly affects each family's monthly budget.

What equipment consumes more electricity in a family?

The most energy - consuming device is the electric stove. Its power can reach up to 4,500 watt, which is equivalent to the energy consumption of 65 refrigerators working simultaneously.

While a modern and energetic refrigerator consumes about 70 watts, an electric stove spends a disproportionate amount of energy in just a few minutes' operation, writes Newsbomb.gr, records Telegrafi.

Why does an electric stove use so much energy?

High consumption stems from several reasons. First of all, she needs to warm up quickly. Each time you light the stove or the oven, electric heaters are activated and consume much electricity. The longer it stays on, the higher the consumption.

Industrious tablets, on the other hand, use electricity but are more efficient, thanks to technology that directly warms the end of the cooking vessel.

What other household devices consume much electricity?

Besides the electric stove, the following devices are characterized by high energy consumption:

▪ microwave ovens: 1000 watts, although usually used for shorter periods
▪ Water heater: between 1200 and 2000 watt
▪ Sipping: Especially during long cycles or when hot water is used
▪ Cloth dryer: over 2000 watt

How can you reduce the consumption of these electrical devices?

There are many ways to save electricity at home, even if you use the same devices. Some advice:

▪ Cook with an electric stove to reduce food preparation time
▪ Use cover in cooking vessels to preserve heat
▪ Do not preheat the oven unless necessary
▪ Turn off devices when they are not in use
▪ Cook larger amounts of food, and store them for several days so that you do not use the stove daily

How do you calculate the consumption of electrical power of a device?

The formula is simple:

Power kW → kW ♫ hours of use = kWh per month

For example, an electric heater of 4000 watt (4.5). KW, used for an hour a day for 30 days, consumes:
4.5 ⇩ 30 = 135 kWh per month

With current prices, this represents a significant share of the total cost of electricity.

What do the letters mean on the energy efficiency label?

Home appliances are classified by letters that indicate their energy efficiency.

The A (and A+, A+, etc). shows very efficient equipment, while those marked with E, F or G consume significantly more energy. /Periscope/
