Electric appliances vs energy saving

Although these appliances do not use a lot of energy separately, together they can represent a substantial increase in the value of the electricity bill. For this reason, taking them out of the socket overnight - or just not turning them on - can be a simple attitude, but one that will bring you a lot of savings. See the list below:

microwave

Most microwave ovens have an LED display that is lit, usually showing the time. When on standby, this appliance consumes approximately 13.7 kWh per month. Therefore, turning it on only when you are using it is the main way to save energy.

Television

Most televisions have a timer button and a snooze function. If you are the type that falls asleep while watching a series, movie or soap opera, it is possible to program in how many minutes or at what time the television will automatically turn off. That way, you avoid leaving it running all night. In addition, the LED that indicates that it is plugged in, even in standby, also consumes energy. The larger the television, the greater the energy consumption.

Stereo

Among the appliances that make the electricity bill the most are stereos. This is due to a combination of elements, such as the set of LED lights and all the circuits it needs to perform in order to function. Therefore, turning it on only when you are going to use it is essential to save electricity.
