Račun za struju vam je ogroman? Krivi su ovi „tihi potrošači“ kojih niste ni svesni

Račun za električnu energiju raste, iako imate utisak da struju koristite štedljivo. Gasite svetla, veš perete racionalno, a rernu uključujete retko, ali iznos na računu iz meseca u mesec i dalje ostaje visok. Razlog su takozvani tihi potrošači struje, uređaji koji rade stalno, često nečujno i neprimetno, ali zajedno mogu da čine i do 30 odsto ukupne potrošnje u domaćinstvu.

TL;DR

  • Silent consumers, devices that continuously draw power, can account for up to 30% of a household's electricity consumption.
  • Major silent consumers include refrigerators, freezers, smart TVs in standby, internet routers, computer chargers, and appliances with standby modes.
  • Older refrigerators can consume 40-60 kWh/month, while modern ones use 15-25 kWh/month.
  • Smart TVs consume 3-7 kWh/month in standby mode.
  • Internet routers consume 5-10 kWh/month, with signal boosters adding 2-5 kWh/month.
  • Laptops consume 5-10 kWh/month, and desktops consume 15-30 kWh/month while in use.
  • Unplugging chargers when not in use can save up to 0.5 kWh/month per charger.
  • Appliances like dishwashers and washing machines consume 1-3 kWh/month in standby.
  • Electric water heaters can be a significant expense, potentially making up a quarter of the electricity bill.
  • Smart devices and home automation systems can collectively consume up to 10 kWh/month.
  • Overall, silent consumers can lead to an additional 80-150 kWh of monthly consumption.
  • Key strategies to reduce consumption include unplugging devices, using power strips with switches, choosing energy-efficient appliances (class A or B), and regular maintenance.
