Have you ever wondered why your energy bills are higher than they should be? Look no further than the household appliances you use every day. From the refrigerator to the hair dryer, everything in between requires a certain amount of energy—and it adds up.

For instance, an average refrigerator consumes between 100 and 220 watts, whereas a clothes dryer can devour up to 4,000 watts in one go. Even smaller household devices like LED TVs (20W–130W) and laptops (45W) add up to your total consumption. High-wattage devices like electric kettles (up to 3,000W) and air conditioners (1,000W–4,000W) gulp enormous amounts of energy if used regularly.

When you know how much power your appliances use, you can make better decisions, like unplugging them when not in use, replacing them with more efficient models, or using them at different times to reduce the load. Not only does this cut costs, but it also minimizes the chances of electrical faults and hazards in a household.
