Household appliances

The appliances we use on a daily basis at home apply an extremely important role in saving or consuming electricity.

Below you will find the electricity consumption of some of the main household appliances, calculated in percentage by our savings experts. These percentages are based on considering the average use of these devices as well as their capacity. Also, it is important to know that the calculations below are done while taking into account the average consumption of household customers, not counting the cost of heating with electricity.

8.66% of the bill goes to the laundry

• The first way of saving is to mostly use the washing machine during low tariffs.
• The washing machine consumes less energy if you wash the clothes at lower temperatures.
• Place the machines in dry places and never in wet places, because moisture conducts electricity and poses a danger, also check if the power wires, cables, are plugs well put.
•  Also, make sure that the water intake and drain pipes are well placed.
• It is preferable to fully load the washing machine every time before putting it into use, but if the machine is half full, then use the economic program. Electricity consumption is the same either at full load or at half load.

The washing machine consumes electricity to heat water. If the same appliance washes the clothes in cold water this will reduce the cost of electricity costs.

7.80% of your monthly bill goes to the dishwasher

• If you have decided to buy a new dishwasher, washing machine, or clothes dryer, then focus on the highest quality and most economical products, look at the manufacturer's instructions where the main features are written, and then decide which one is more economical.
• Leave such appliances in dry places and never in wet places, because moisture conducts electricity and poses a danger, also check that the power wires, cables, plugs are in order. Also make sure that the water intake and drain pipes are well placed.

4.78% goes for the fridge

• At home, keep the refrigerator away from appliances that release heat, keep it in the coolest place in the house, by making sure the low temperatures stay constant.
• Before putting food in the fridge, let it cool, hot food requires more electricity to freeze.
• Do not allow moisture in the refrigerator, cover food containers, and clean water droplets from all the containers and bottles you put inside.
• Do not allow ice thickness to form in the refrigerator and freezer, thaw and clean them as it will be more effective and economical.
• Keep the refrigerator door open as little as possible and make sure the door is securely closed, because if warm air enters and the refrigerator loses freshness and needs more time to return to normal.
