Common conclusions
Using an air conditioner at home for longer hours can increase your electric bill by the end of the month. Depending on the efficiency of your unit, your HVAC may reach 850-1950 kWh in one month if used for 24 hours.
Water heater is another energy-consuming appliance. An average heater would reach 450 kWh in one month if used for a couple of hours. You can set your water heater to 120F or lower if you want to save energy.
Refrigerators are often turned on all day and night. This will make an increase in your electric bill and can reach up to 162 kWh in one month. To prevent this, avoid overloading your refrigerator at home and arrange the contents for more efficient use.
If you are using the washer and dryer for a couple of hours, this can ultimately reach 3045 watts in a month. To save electricity, avoid overfilling the machine, and instead of using the dryer, hang your clothes on a rack outside.
Electric ovens reach 2500 watts if used regularly. If you have a stove at home, it can also reach 1500 watts on medium-high heat. To prevent a huge increase in your bill, refrain from reheating food now and then, especially if it’s not necessary.
A dishwasher can consume 330 watts or 10 kWh per month. If you want to save your pocket, rinse the dirty food residues first to avoid the need for a second cycle.
Frequent use of television can consume 55 kWh per month. It can also consume power if left unplugged from the outlet. If possible, refrain from watching television for more than 5 hours a day and play outdoors to get your body moving.
If you don’t watch television often, make sure you have turned it off and have unplugged it from the outlet. You can also turn off its brightness to reduce power consumption.
