Hot/cold water dispenser

Many modern families have used hot and cold water dispensers instead of electric kettles. Because the hot and cold water dispenser is very convenient for users, in winter there is hot water, in summer there is cold water. Especially, for those who often drink tea, coffee, eat instant noodles… the hot and cold water dispenser is extremely wonderful because of its convenience. However, to maintain the temperature of hot and cold water as you wish, the capacity of the tank is about 700-1,200 W depending on the manufacturer and capacity. If plugged in continuously and using about 6-8 liters of hot water per day, the tank can reach 40-100 kWh per month. Therefore, you should unplug this water dispenser when going to bed at night, but that will both save electricity and prevent fire and explosion effectively.

Clothes dryer

In the winter days, especially in spring in the North of our country, it is the rainy and humid season. At this time, most families have to use a dryer to dry clothes after washing to make them fragrant and clean. However, the dryer is also an energy-consuming device. With the most popular models being 8 kg vented or condensing, the usage time is from 1-2 hours depending on the mode, consuming 75-140 kWh per month if used daily. With a more advanced dryer line, the heat pump, the power consumption will be much lower.

Desktop computer

Computers such as laptops or desktop computers are popular technology devices in many families with a common capacity of about 35-450 W. Some high-configuration models can have a capacity of up to 1,000 W. The average power consumption according to EVN for desktop computers per month is about more than 70 kWh. Therefore, after use, you should unplug the plug to save electricity for your family.
