What Appliances Use the Most Energy?

March 31, 2021admin

Are you tired of looking at the ever-increasing electricity bills of your house every month? Is the electric bill running too high? This might be because you’re using electrical appliances in your house excessively and inefficiently. 

It’s common for people to spend large amounts of money on electrical appliances for the same convenience and saving costs in the long run. But what good is it if you can’t manage their electricity consumption? Let’s go over some of these energy-hungry appliances:

Typical Energy-Hungry Appliances

Refrigerators

Can’t deny this, can you? Who doesn’t keep their food and other perishable consumer goods inside the fridge? Refrigerators are a common appliance for just about every household. The most important thing to notice is the frequent consumption of electricity via this home appliance. Hence, you can opt for a minimum and efficient energy-consuming refrigerator.

Heating Systems

If you are a traditional and old-school methods lover, you don’t have to worry about this method. However, not everybody uses conventional methods to heat a living space, i.e., firewood in a classical fireplace. In addition, heating systems consume large amounts of energy, the costs of which make up at least 25 percent of the electricity bills in the US.

Cooling Systems

These are another temperature maintaining appliance in just about every household. The costs of running your cooling system may be the second-highest on your electricity bills (after the heating system). Although summer seasons are shorter, you might tend to use air-conditioning systems and fans excessively. You might forget about the energy these appliances consume, which makes up about 40 percent of the electricity bill in combination with the heating system.

Lights

Leaving the lights on unnecessarily or using inefficient fixtures can heavily contribute to a high electric bill. Lighting makes up somewhere around 10 percent of the electricity bills in the entire US on average. Keep a lookout for when lights are on unnecessarily, and make sure to buy efficient fixtures that cut down on overall costs. 

TV’s and Computers

It would be awful to leave these two very essential household appliances of modern times out of this energy-hungry list, won’t it? TVs, computers, and other daily tech devices highly contribute to the increasing energy demands. They can also make up around 1 to 2 percent of your electric bills.
