When the electricity bill arrives for the HomeMost of us automatically turn our attention to the same, obvious devices.
ARTICLE SUMMARY
- The electric water heater is shown to the largest energy consumer in a household. His mission to warm and keep the water at high temperature makes it one of the most demanding household appliances, burdening the bills significantly.
- Unlike other devices, the water heater operates periodically around the clock to restore heat. This «invisible» operation, especially with poor insulation or high temperature regulation, eject energy consumption.
- Annual consumption figures reveal the huge difference. The electric water heater far exceeds 100-250 kWh of a refrigerator, often representing 20% to 30% of the total energy consumed by a house.
- Energy saving is achieved by targeted interventions. Adjusting the thermostat to 55–60 degrees, regular maintenance to remove salts and shorter showers directly reduce the final cost.
The refrigerator, because it never goes out, Laundry or dryer. Although this thought is perfectly reasonable, the reality of domestic consumption conceals surprises.
There's another
device, much quieter and discreet, which works uninterruptedly in
background and burden the monthly cost much more than
We imagine.

The necessary
device for each home
The reason for electric water heater (or bowler). It is a device necessary in every home, but the mission of which is very demanding: it must warm the water and keep it at high temperature at any time.
Out of current accounts the payment of municipal fees -In their plans new collection system
Lignite: Why does going back to the fight ever? «national fuel» It would bring more expensive electricity.
This is why, in many cases, it is the largest «Consumer» energy of the household.
Her trap
continuous readiness
As opposed to oven or the washing machine, which consumes energy only during their use, the electric water heater operates periodically throughout the 24-hour period. Every time stored water loses heat, the device is automatically activated to restore it, even if no one is home.

This constant, «invisible» operation eject costs, especially if factors such as:
- Too much

Numbers
cause surprise
To be done
The difference is understood, a comparison of annual sizes is sufficient. A modern
refrigerator consumes about 100 to 250 kWh per year. A dishwasher
moves at similar levels, while a dryer can cost significantly
more depending on the use.
However, the electric water heater easily exceeds the above numbers, often representing 20% to 30% of the total energy of a household.

Saving
energy does not necessarily require the replacement of the system, but small,
targeted interventions:
Temperature adjustment: Maintenance
the thermostat between 55 and 60 degrees Celsius is sufficient for daily use
and prevents unnecessary waste.
Regular maintenance: The accumulation
salts dramatically reduce the efficiency of the device, forcing it to
It works longer.
Change of habits: The shortest
shower and use flow heads with water saving technology reduce immediately
the volume of water to be reheated.
In conclusion, the greatest economic burden does not always come from the most impressive or noisy devices. In most homes, the substantial loss of money is hidden in the water heater, which, although it goes unnoticed, leaves a strong impression on the final account.
