Many people believe that air conditioning is the biggest energy consumer in their homes, but there are other devices that also use significant amounts of electricity.

1. Induction Cookers and Electric Cookers

In today’s modern homes, induction cookers and electric cookers are essential appliances. While they are safer than gas stoves, which carry risks of fire or explosion, they do consume a lot of electricity. It’s advisable to unplug these cookers after use to ensure safety and save energy.

Experts note that if an induction cooker is left plugged in continuously, it will still draw power. A single cooker can use between 85-95 kWh, and a double cooker between 170-190 kWh per month, depending on the model and capacity. Therefore, unplugging the device after use can help reduce electricity consumption.

2. Water Heaters

Water heaters are frequently used during cold weather, particularly in the winter, making them essential for many households. Most families in the North use 30-liter tanks, which can serve 2-4 people daily but consume a significant amount of electricity, sometimes more than air conditioners.

For those who turn on the heater only before use, the average consumption is about 70-80 kWh per month. Families that keep it on continuously may see usage reach 230-340 kWh per month. Turning off the water heater after use and unplugging it can help save electricity and enhance safety.
