The scorching sun is hot, and the air conditioner is not opened; the air conditioner is turned on, and the money bag "can't afford to hurt". Recently, many citizens have exposed their home electricity bills. In July, electricity costs have increased, which is amazing. Is the electricity bill increased? Everyone asked questions.

Ms. Ni, a citizen who lives in Ziting Shengyuan, found that in July this year, the electricity consumption at home was 1151 degrees and the electricity bill was 655.52 yuan. It used 53 degrees in the month, but it was nearly 200 yuan. Although after the summer, as the use of electrical appliances increases, the corresponding increase in electricity charges is reasonable, but what makes Ms. Ni puzzled is that even if it is the same as in February, the price of each electricity seems to be the price. It's more expensive. Citizens like Ms. Ni have doubts about electricity bills, and they have called for "innovation high" in the circle of friends and WeChat in July.

After the county's power supply company learned about the situation, it responded in a timely manner -the main reason is that it continued to sunny and hot weather and staircase electricity prices in July. From June to August each year, there is a peak period of electricity, but this year's high temperature weather affects the duration for a long time, and the electricity consumption in summer is increasing compared to the same period last year.

Due to the current electricity price of residents in Zhejiang Province, the electricity price of residents is a ladder price, and the three -speed step -type progressive valuation is divided according to the annual electricity consumption. Among them, the first power is 2760 kWh and below, and the electricity price is 0.538 yuan per kilowatt-hour; the second power is 2761-4800 kilowatt-hours, and the electricity price is 0.588 yuan per kilowatt-hour. For more than 4800 kilowatt hours, the electricity price is 0.838 yuan per kilowatt -hour. In other words, the use of the third -speed power will obviously feel the increase in electricity prices.

High temperature weather greatly increases the frequency and duration of residents' use of air conditioners, and the larger the temperature difference between indoor and outdoor temperature, the more the electricity required for air conditioning refrigeration. It is also set at 26 ° C for the air conditioner. Energy consumption is big. In addition, as soon as the outdoor temperature is high, the temperature in the air -conditioned room rises quickly, and the air conditioner will frequently start the refrigeration, and the power consumption will be greater. Air conditioning energy -saving coefficients, cleanliness and ventilation of the unit will affect the energy consumption of air conditioning.

In addition, there may be the following reasons for the increase in electricity: the elderly and the elderly in the summer are at home, the power of electricity is increased, and the time to use air conditioners, televisions, and computers at home increases. Household appliances are in the power generated by the standby state. According to the data of "Popular Science China", the central air -conditioning standby status consumes 60 degrees a month, the TV standby state consumes 15 degrees a month, and the set -top box stands for 12 degrees per month. Ordinary air -conditioning stands for 9 degrees of electricity a month.

In order to facilitate the mastery of the power consumption of the citizens, the county power supply company suggested that the public download and use the "online State Grid" APP, bind the power consolidation account, query the daily power usage, obtain electricity bills and invoices, and handle various types of electricity business. In addition, it is recommended that users who use more electricity at night to handle peak and valley electricity, and reasonably use the poor price of Peak Valley. You can use household appliances such as washing machines, kettles, and water heaters at night or early morning troughs to effectively save electricity costs.
