3. The water heater
The water heater should be disconnected from the power source if not in use
The frequency of hot water use is very low especially in the summer. If you turn on the water heater to keep warm, it will waste much electricity. Therefore, if you do not need it, you should unplug the water heater, this action will help save some electricity.
The water heater’s structure allows you to keep the water temperature at all times by simply turning it on. It sounds very convenient because we can use hot water at any time. However, in fact, the water heater continues to consume electricity during the heat preservation process, consuming electricity all day long.
4. The air conditioner
A lot of people have the habit of leaving the air conditioner in standby mode for convenient use next time, yet this means that the air conditioner still consumes electricity even when not in use. On the other hand, if the power is turned off, this device is always in standby mode, the indicator light is always on, which consumes electricity.
Therefore, in the seasons when you do not use the air conditioner, it is advisable to unplug it to save more as well as let the device “rest”, prolonging its life.
