As soon as the electricity bill came out, many people wondered: air conditioning was not running much, electricity was high and money was being spent for no reason。

The vast majority of people are aware that air conditioners are the most power-consuming appliances in their homes, often thinking of saving electricity from air conditioners, while ignoring the small types of electricity that are available in the living room and kitchen. These little things seem to have little power, either to keep stealing electricity all the time, or to be extremely powery, accumulated over time, and to be able to generate hundreds of extra electricity a year。
This paper combines the official performance measurement of the national grid, the finep experiment, the national standard of gb 24,850 electric-dependant energy use, general data to dismantle the invisibility of electricity in the home, correct long-standing power-saving areas, and share simple and operational home-based energy savings without deliberately reducing the amount of electricity used for life。
First, the design of home-based energy-saving policies was intended。
The state has introduced energy efficiency classification standards for home appliances and has made a major effort to spread knowledge of energy conservation among the population. The central objective is to guide the population to science and reduce the unnecessary depletion of electricity resources, while reducing the daily expenses of ordinary households. Formal household electricity is divided into one to three levels of energy efficiency, with strict limits on the availability of electricity and inefficient energy consumption from production sources。
The high cost of electricity in many households is not a problem in metering, but is largely due to a lack of awareness of the power consumption in small households, as well as deviations in the routine use of electricity, allowing appliances to operate over long periods of time and overboard, slowly accumulating high electricity costs。
One or four of the most common power loss areas
Several misperceptions are prevalent among the population in the context of community electricity department outreach and are the main reason for the increased use of electricity。
Mistake one: only air conditioners, water heaters cost electricity, and small electrical power is low
This is the most widely shared misperception. Air conditioners are power-intensive only when they operate, with minimal after-service losses, while captor boxes, optical cats and routers are open 24 hours a day, with a maximum of 15 watts for old captor boxes, constant daily power consumption and accumulated annual power consumption well above air conditioners。
The power consumption of one small unit of equipment is negligible, but the house is co-opted with a large number of units, which spends more than a few dozen to hundreds of degrees a year, and is a considerable expense for years。
Mistake 2: turning off electrical appliances with a remote control means power is out
Whether it is television or small household electricity of all types, the remote control shut down only screens and running functions, the internal master plate of the equipment, the signal receiving module, is still on hold, and the industry refers to this consumption as “sampling power”, which is consumed quietly all day。
Mistake three: small kitchen power only for a few minutes. Power consumption is negligible
The instant power of the electro-hot water kettle, the electromagnetic furnace and the air frying pot is generally between 1800 and 2,200 watts, well above the operational power of 1. 5 facs. Three meals per day are used repeatedly, with only half an hour of power consumption, to compensate for air conditioners running for two to three hours, with many completely ignoring the consumption of electricity in the kitchen。
Error area four: idle charger plugged in the plug, without power without connection
Cell phones, electric vehicles, power adapters for all types of small household electricity, empty plugs, and internal transformers continue to work, with single-station power consumption ranging from 1 to 2 watts. The house is also equipped with five or six empty chargers, which will consume more than twenty degrees of electricity a year, with long-term heating of the old adaptor and a safety hazard of short-circuit fire。
Two, four categories of indiscretionary “electrical assassins” that consume far too much energy. The elephant
Based on the results of the national networking centre of metrology, four types of invisible power-consuming appliances have been assembled, combined with visual electricity-consumption conversion, to see daily power waste。
(i) no. 1 electrical equipment: roof box, cat, router all day
1. Television penthouses: old machine on-calls of about 15 watts, with little difference in power on-board and working, with a daily electricity consumption of 0. 36 degrees and 130 degrees throughout the year; new smart machine tops of between 3 and 8 watts, with a yearly consumption of 40 and 50 degrees. Most people turn off their televisions, and the roof box is constantly running, the easiest source of electricity to ignore。
Photocats + dual frequency routers: the combined stand-by of the two units is 7 to 10 watts, with average daily power consumption of 0. 19 degrees and close to 70 degrees a year. Long-term failure to turn off power would not only cost electricity, but would also result in grid-speed cardon being accumulated。
The entire network equipment consumes almost 200 degrees of electricity a year, far above the air conditioner on-line all year round, and is the first to be invisible in the household。
(ii) kitchen power small household electricity, with alarming use of electricity accumulation at short notice
1. An electromagnetic furnace of 2100 w, which consumes 1. 05 degrees of electricity for half an hour for consecutive cooking
2. 1800 w electric hot water kettles, three cans of open water per day and 0. 45 degrees daily
3. 800 w meals, with no plugs after the meal, and an additional 0. 1 degree of electricity per hour in the temperature preservation mode
4. Electrical ovens, air-cooked pot power 1600-2000w, which consumes 1. 6 to 2 degrees per hour of electricity for baking, with a marked increase in monthly electricity charges due to frequent use on weekends。
(iii) all-weather temperature-preserving small appliances, with continued electricity consumption through cycle heating
The desktop water machine operates 24 hours a day, the water temperature drops, automatically reheating, with an additional four to six degrees a month; the smart toilet seat heating module is powered all day, with an additional three degrees a month; and the heating cup pad, the bottom of the raw pot, is permanently plugged into the air, generating a large amount of inefficient energy consumption from the accumulation of days and months。
(iv) discharged power adapters, charging substrates
Cell phones charge headers, electric vehicle chargers, ground-cleaning robots charge floors, and when left idle, they continue to run out of air. Multiple simultaneous placements not only waste electricity, but continue to heat old equipment, but also bury electrical safety hazards。
Iii. Two misuses of electricity, both costly and damaging to household life
In many households, daily operations appear to be economical, while electricity is consistently wasted and the life of household electricity is reduced。
Custom 1: all electrical appliances remain unplugged year after year and are closed only by remote control
The main board of electrical appliances is running throughout the year and is constantly heating up, generating, on the one hand, extensive on-site wear and tear and, on the other, accelerating the ageing of internal components. The roof boxes and routers remained off for long periods of time, were prone to caden failure in three to four years, and were replaced earlier, resulting in additional costs。
Custom 2: kitchen appliances run out of body buttons and keep the power running
Following the shutdown of electric cookers, microwave stoves and breakers, the adaptor remains on standby, with multiple daily usage and accumulated wear and tear, and the electric cooker has long-term access to temperature preservation mode and repeated heating, which consumes both electricity and internal guts and heating components。
Iv. Energy equipment responsibility, sustainable
In combination with official energy-saving guidelines for the electricity sector, four sets of highly localized power-saving programmes can reduce the cost of electricity without deliberately reducing the use of household electricity。
Network equipment is out of power over time, balancing internet access with energy efficiency
When working during the day and during the night, the ceiling box, cat, router power is cut with a single plug with an independent switch; no one in the home for longer than eight hours is cut off directly from the entire network. Families requiring a full-day connection can set the router to be restarted on a regular basis to reduce the number of invalid waiting hours。
2. The power supply is cut in a timely manner through the use of small household electricity in the kitchen, with a focus on reducing wear and tear
The boiler is fully prepared all day to avoid repeated minor heating; after cooking, the electric cooker removes the plug and does not keep the temperature warm; and the electromagnetic furnace, the air fryer is used and the plugs are cut off to eliminate the empty charge of the adaptor。
3. Timely removal of idle chargers and unified receipt
Cell phones and electric vehicles are filled with electricity, and charge heads are removed immediately, and the spare adapters are collected in a centralized manner, rather than being placed in a plugin for long periods, saving electricity and eliminating heat and fire。
4. Distinction between power outages, non-cut home power, and non-blind operation
(b) no frequent power outages are required: refrigerators, repeated outages allow compressors to double their power consumption and are vulnerable to damage to equipment
Power cuts can be made on demand: roof boxes, routers, drinking water units, chargers of all types, kitchen mini-powers
Short-term outages can cut electricity: air conditioners, televisions, direct out-of-house closures for long periods of time。
V. Conclusion: equipment of inspectional resources, scientific equipment heart
The state improves household energy efficiency standards and universalizes home-based energy-saving science, with the original aim of helping people avoid inefficient use of electricity and reduce the cost of living。
The problem with the high cost of electricity in most households is not the frequent use of air conditioners, but the invisibility of the long-term availability and inappropriate use of small appliances. The four types of “electrical assassin” with roof boxes, routers, large kitchen powered small household electricity, idle charge adapters, accumulated power consumption well above the known air conditioner on-line losses。
In order to save energy in the home, it is not necessary to live in daily conditions, not to open air conditioning or cook, but to change a few simple habits: small household electricity is used to cut power, to shut off network equipment for long periods of time, and to unfill the head in time for collection。
It can save dozens of dollars a month for electricity and reduce the waste of electricity resources. It can also reduce the safety risks associated with long-term tropical growth of electrical appliances. The development of a science-based electricity habit and the avoidance of hidden power-consuming traps can result in a marked reduction in monthly electricity costs。
