Some electricity guzzlers are hidden in the household, which cause high costs due to increasing energy prices. We'll tell you which devices you should pay particular attention to at home.
Energy prices continue to rise. Saving energy is now the requirement of the hour for consumers. Some power guzzlers are hidden in the household, especially in the household. Often old devices particularly need a lot of energy. But old devices are not always inefficient and new ones are particularly powerful.
To find out whether a device is inefficient, you can use a current measuring device. For example, you can borrow that from the consumer advice centers. With some devices in the household, it is worth taking a close look because they usually use more energy. With us you will find out which they are.

These devices usually use a lot of electricity
Devices that mostly consume a lot of energy are inefficient heating pumps, instantaneous water heaters, kitchen appliances for cooking and baking, but also the dishwasher and dryer as well as consumer electronics can become real power feeders.
Many prefer devices like the television to standby mode than to switch them off completely. This is not a good idea with regard to saving energy. Because devices in standby mode consume more electricity. Especially if you have many devices that are permanently in standby mode, this can be noticeable for the year on your electricity bill.
Therefore, one of the most sensible tips is still to be completely eliminated. LED lights instead of halogen lamps also make sense to save energy in the long term.
Our tip:Split strips are very helpful because you can separate some devices from the electricity at once and thus reduce the costs.
Energy saving when showering
Energy can also be saved when showering. A good tip is a savings shower head to save water. Heating water in particular is a real energy guesser. To save money, you should regulate the temperature when showering and get used to a temperature of 36 degrees instead of 40 degrees.

In addition, it makes sense to take a shower and put the water off in between. Incidentally, a shower is much more economical than a full bath. Most of all you save if you don't take more than ten minutes a day with a savings shower head.
If you have a instantaneous water heater at home, you should take a close look. It may make sense to replace the hydraulic instantaneous water heater with an electronic one. The Consumer Center North Rhine-Westphalia provides one for thisModernization calculator for the exchange of the instantaneous heaterready.
