The increasing electricity bill every month has become a common problem today. Power consumption naturally increases naturally with the continuous use of air conditioners, coolers and wings in the summer season. However, many times we make some small mistakes, which have a lot of effect on our electricity bill.
You may get used to shutting down fans, lights and other equipment if you are not used, but still there are some habits that most people ignore and these habits cause the hidden consumption of electricity.
1. Leave the charger in the plug
Many people always leave the switch on the switch board instead of removing the mobile charger repeatedly, even if it is not being used.
- If the charger is in the plug and the switch is on, it consumes electricity without any use.
- This process is called Phantom Power or Idol Load.
- Not only charger, but other electronic devices such as TVs, microwaves, computers etc. also consume electricity without use, if they are connected to the switch on position.
2. Electricity expenditure more than fast charger
Nowadays, the trend of fast charging smartphones and their charger has increased.
- Fast charger consumes many times more power than normal charger.
- If you plug the fast charger and leave the switch on, then he keeps consumed continuously without charging the phone.
3. How much is electricity consumption?
- When a charger is put in the plug and switch is on, it can consume electricity ranging from 0.1 to 0.4 units, even if there is no device being charged.
- If many charger or other electronic devices remain in this position, this consumption can reach several units throughout the month, which has a direct impact on the electricity bill.
What to do?
- Remove charger or other equipment immediately after use
- Keep connection to switch board only when used
- Limit or use fast charging as per requirement
- Use smart power strips that prevent unnecessary power consumption
