How much electricity does the air conditioner consume without plug?The answer is unexpected

The electrical appliance at home is not used

Will the meter be electric?

Unknown

Turn off the electricity constant, the meter is quietly left

One month away from home

The air conditioner consumed 10 meters

Mr. Li recently found that even if there was no one at home and the electrical appliances, he would walk about ten degrees per month. He could not find the reason for several inspections, so he contacted the power department for inspection. It turned out that the central air conditioner in the home was "making monsters". Although Mr. Li turned off the air conditioner every time he went out, the central air conditioner of the power -standing standby would still generate a lot of standby energy consumption.

It is still connected to the power supply without running, and the power consumption is called standby energy consumption. Unlike the effective energy consumption generated in the use of electrical appliances, the standby energy consumption is basically a kind of energy waste, and it is often a "hidden waste" that is not easy to find.

The reporter visited more than ten families randomly and found that the waste of standby energy consumption was generally common. Except for one or two elderly families, most families' TVs and set -top boxes are only turned off with remote controls, and they do not turn off the switch or cut off the power. The common home appliances such as air conditioners, range hoods, and washing machines are all -in -year standby. The reporter also found that more than half of the family's electric water heater and kitchen treasure all run 24 hours, even if people are not at home, they will not turn off.

In the interview, when it comes to air conditioners, few people will pull out the plug. Some people do not know that they will consume power. Some people know, but they do not care. The reporter found that many families would not pay attention to the electricity consumption in the standby state. Most people said that "not clear", "should not be much" or "never paid attention."

1 router stands for one year

Power consumption 65.7 degrees

It is difficult to notice the standby energy consumption because it is a waste of "accumulating less". Take a router with a standby power of 12W as an example. If calculated by 15 hours of standby time, then a router's one -day standby energy consumption is 0.18 degrees, it seems not much, but it will cost 65.7 degrees electricity in one year to consume 65.7 degrees electricity. Essence After two or three years of standby power consumption, it is enough to buy another router.

In order to estimate the total standby energy consumption, the reporter conducted interviews from various parties. Wang Fei, director of the Haier Air Industry Institute, said that his team had calculated the standby energy consumption of common home appliances to calculate the five types of electrical appliances of air conditioning, washing machine, television, microwave oven, and rice cooker of a family. The standby power was 12W By 15W, the standby energy consumption is about 3 to 5 days, that is, 0.2 degrees to 0.33 degrees per day.

Experts estimated that, including 12 kinds of electrical appliances such as TVs, set -top boxes, and routers common in urban families, a family's daily standby energy consumption is about 0.86 degrees of electricity. If the electric water heater and kitchen treasure that has been running but not used, the daily energy consumption of a family can reach 1.52 degrees of electricity daily.

In summary, even if it is calculated by 0.2 meters per day of standby energy per household, a city with a population of 5 million people (according to 1.9 million family households), the annual standby energy consumption is nearly 139 million kWh.

Experts point out that the electricity costs brought by standby energy consumption are not much expensive, and it is easy to be ignored by users. However, the waste of free, unnecessary, and valuable standing energy consumption must be resolutely curbed.
