The majority of us have not measured our home electricity consumption. To conserve energy and save money as a home owner, it is critical to measure the power usage that is costing you each bill. To understand this it is a good idea to identity where and how the electricity is being used. We also have to know whether the electricity is used by electrical equipment or perhaps there are some electric wiring issues in the house.
We should ask the following questions;
- Which electrical appliances in our home use the highest amount of energy?
- Which areas in our home may have electric wiring issues?
- Are there appliances we can turn off at the power point at night or when not in use?
This is significant to be aware of this to decrease electricity and to reduce our spending on energy.
Use an monitor to measure electricity
>The simplest and possibly the most economical way to determine electricity consumption for your household is to use a small electricity monitor. These are relatively cheap to buy, costing around $20 per unit. They can be used on calculating the majority of your home electrical appliances.
Should you be worried about wiring contact a qualified electrician to inspect your appliances. You may also choose to replace your less than energy efficient appliances.
