Every month when we receive our electricity bill, we always sigh: “Why did the price increase? Obviously I used a lot of electricity!”.

Every month when we receive our electricity bill, we always sigh: “Why did the price increase? Obviously I used a lot of electricity!”.

In fact, there is an “electricity thief” at home. It secretly eats up our electricity all day long, causing our electricity bills to increase. This is the TV set-top box that we use every day!

You may find it hard to believe, how can a small set-top box (STB – Television signal decoder) consume more electricity than an air conditioner?

In fact, this is because the set-top box has a big hidden danger, which is the very high standby power.

In other words, when we turn off the TV with the remote control, the set-top box is not actually turned off but in standby mode and still consumes electricity.

Moreover, the power consumption of the set-top box in standby mode and normal operation is almost the same, which means that if we do not turn off the switch on the set-top box after watching TV every day, it is equivalent to it being on all the time.

Save electricity, electrical equipment

The solution to this problem is very simple, you just need to turn off the switch on the TV set-top box, or buy a socket with a switch.

When we do not use household appliances, just turn off the power switch.

In this way, the power supply to the set-top box can be completely cut off, thereby saving a lot of electricity bills.

Of course, it’s not just the set-top box. There are many household appliances in our homes. These household appliances are in standby mode and need a little electricity.

Now I would like to tell you some ways to save electricity:

1. Air conditioning

You can buy a frequency inverter air conditioner, it will automatically adapt to the temperature difference between indoors and outdoors, adjust the operating speed and capacity, waste less electricity and make less noise.

Set a reasonable temperature, around 26°C is good, if it is too low, not only is it not good for your health, but it also makes the air conditioner work harder and consumes 7% more electricity.

When sleeping, you can use the sleep function of the air conditioner. After the person falls asleep, the air conditioner will automatically increase the temperature in the house to save energy.
