Although refrigerators and drying machines consume a lot of electricity, in the first place in consumption is Electric oven.
As notes the Spanish newspaper Asunlike the refrigerator, which only maintains the temperature, the oven should achieve high values and hold them for a long time.
Consumption in numbers
The average energy consumption of the oven is from 40 to 90 kW per month, which in annual terms is noticeably reflected in the accounts. For comparison: the oven with a capacity of 2.000–5.000 W consumes more energy than the refrigerator (300-800 W), in some models of which annual consumption does not exceed 200 kWh.
Comparison with other devices
According to data As and French research, regular use of the oven can reach 224 kWh per year. Despite the lesser time, total consumption is higher than that of the refrigerator. The reason is significant energy consumption for heating and holding the temperature.
Latent energy
Even in waiting mode, the oven continues to consume energy-up to 67 watts due to digital panels and watches. Such a “small” load can be from 5% to 26% per annum.
How to reduce costs
Experts advise:
- Do not open the door of the oven during cooking;
- turn it off a few minutes before the end of cooking;
- Completely turn off the device from the network if it is not used.
Energy efficiency
Buying new energy -efficient models helps to save in the long run. Energy consumption label is a key landmark when choosing a technique. The rational use of the device not only reduces expenses, but also extends the service life. In conditions of high energy prices, this can significantly affect the family budget.
