From June 1 to September 30 each year, the electricity usage for a total of four months is based on the summer electricity fee. Even if the electricity usage is exactly the same, the billing fee received will be higher than that of the usual month. I am mentally prepared for the high-cost fees in summer.
That morning, I happened to meet a Taiwanese electrician who came to copy the meter. I asked him to see how much difference the electricity used this time was from the last time I read it. As a result, both of us were shocked because, "This time, the first floor uses nearly twice as much power than last time!" I asked him to confirm again, because the first floor was windy and the air conditioner was not used, and the whole summer was almost not started.
Large capacity ovens will increase the temperature in the room. In summer, I will try not to cook ovens. If I need to bake bread or pies, I can use a small oven. After the two most power-consuming equipment are directly excluded from the suspicion list, where are the electric monster beasts hidden? refrigerator? Electric fan? Electric ……Every type of electrical equipment becomes suspicious in an instant. Which one, or which one is an electric thief?
High-efficiency food regulator with strong horsepower and loud sounds is definitely very power-consuming, but it only takes one minute to use it every day. How much power can it consume? Are there electric pots and quick cooking pots from morning exercise to night? Are there electronic pots used for cooking? Is it trustworthy that the dishwasher number says that it uses less than one degree of electricity for each cleaning? There is a first-class power-saving sticker on the door of the newly purchased large refrigerator. Is it really power-saving? The kitchen and restaurant are large, and each lamp tube and light bubble have been converted into an electricity-saving LED device?
In order to find out the monster beasts, I bought a power monitoring machine for the electric appliance and opened the kitchen to fight monsters. The power monitoring machine costs a little, and there are many items that can be detected. In addition to understanding the power consumption, voltage, and current per hour, it can also measure the power factor of the appliance, and even the carbon emissions can be displayed. When using it, just plug the monitor into the socket and then plug the electrical plug in the monitor into the monitor, all the data can be mastered in one hand.
data will say that understanding the situation can avoid misjudgment. I listed a power table of my kitchen appliances, recording the power consumption of the appliances in use, and their power factors. The power factor indicates the efficiency of power usage. The number 1 represents high efficiency, which means that the power is fully utilized. It is lower than 1 and the smaller the number indicates that the power consumes virtually the power of this appliance. Some people say that the power consumed virtually is like the bubbles in a beer cup. It can be seen and cannot be drunk. It is all counted in the bill. Regardless of the amount of power it consumes, it is a power-eating monster.
In addition to the machine itself, the wires and plugs may also be the real culprits of power consumption, and may even be the main cause of fire hazards. This time, in order to find the electric monster, I noticed that the electric wire and plug of the electric wire were overheated. I took it to the original factory for inquiries and found out that the electric wires of the electric wires were consumables. When there was overheating, I should change them. The electric hose is a commonly used kitchen equipment. Changing a new power cable not only increases the power factor, but also increases the peace of mind.
In fact, in addition to doing my own work, I also use the service of Taiwan Telecom. When I called the Taiwan Electric Service Telephone directly and told me that I was doubtful about the excessive charge, they made a good time with me and sent two enthusiastic engineers to my house to confirm the correctness of the meter itself, and helped me find out possible reasons for power consumption, and also answered many questions about power use.
View the appliances in the kitchen, each of which has practical and necessary functions. To reduce the overall power consumption, you must start from changing habits. Take my kitchen as an example. The kitchen cooler that is hardly used is turned off directly from the circuit of the power supply to avoid long-term power consumption of standby. As for equipment that is used every day and has a short time, such as dishwasher, conditioner, small oven, etc., it is inserted into a extension socket that can be independently opened. The extension cable must be placed in a convenient height and position to turn it off. Only in this way can one develop a habit of not using it for a long time and avoid becoming a real big monster of electricity eating.
