Introduction • Home appliance, are also called as Household Appliance, many electromechanical, or gas-powered devices are introduced mainly in the 20th century to save labor and time in the home. • Collectively, their effect on industrial society has been to eliminate the drudgery and drastically reduce the time long associated with housekeeping and homemaking. • Home appliances have had little or no effect outside the world’s urban communities, but within these communities, had a profound, even revolutionary, impact in social and economic terms. • These devices have facilitated the establishment of single-person households.
How to Use Household Appliances Efficiently • As a general rule, wherever possible, switch appliances off completely when they are not in use. • Many appliances, such as televisions and air conditioners, have standby modes where the appliance is not active but is ready to be reactivated at the touch of a button. • However, being in standby mode still draws on power. This power is often used to light clock displays. • Indeed, some estimates suggest that appliances such as DVD players use more power over a year to keep their clock display running than they do actually performing the function they are designed for. • So switch off appliances at the wall wherever possible. • You should also do this when you are away from the property for an extended period, on vacation, say.
How much Electricity do Common Household Appliances Use? • Cloth washer : 425 Watts • Refrigerator : 188 watts • Dishwasher: 200 watts • Central AC: 6000 watts • Window AC: 1300 watts • Flat screen TV: 150 watts • LCD TV: 213 watts • Vacuum: 1100 watts • Water heater: 473 Watts • Ceiling fan: 60 watts • Mixer: 200 watts • Computer:95 watts • DVD player: 25 watts • Laptop: 50 watts
How to Calculate Power Consumption • You can easily calculate the power consumption. • To find out the energy consumption by an appliance, you need two pieces of data; • the duration of the use of the appliance and the watts consumed. Almost all appliances are labeled with their average rate of energy usage in some accessible place. • ome appliances may show volts and amps. In that case, you can get watts by simply multiplying volts by amps (volts x amp). • You can convert the watts into kilowatts by dividing watts by 1000. • Kilowatt = X Watt/1000
Monitor the Energy Usage in your House with a Kill-A-Watt • If you want to keep an eye on the energy usage in your house, one useful tool you can get is the Kill-A-Watt device. • It is very simple to use device and it counts volts, amps, and watts. • You simply need to plug it in and it starts counting kWh, the same units used on your electrical bill. • You can monitor the usage by watching the LCD screen. • It is a one of those inexpensive, but useful devices that helps you have peace of mind. • For instance, you can use a Kill-A-Watt with your refrigerator to check how much it is costing to drink cold beer and soda. • Actually, the labels given on appliances are always overstated. • When you monitor them with a Kill-A-Watt, you will see that their energy consumption never reaches the amount stated on the labels.
