4 devices that 'consume electricity'
1. Electric stove:
Induction cookers and infrared cookers are increasingly popular, replacing gas stoves. The types of electric stoves today are also quite diverse, compact in design, from single stoves to double and triple stoves, serving the needs of many people.
With an average usage of about 3 hours/day, a single electric stove can consume 85-9- kWh of electricity/month. This figure for a double stove is 170-190 kWh/month. The specific electricity consumption will depend on the capacity and usage time of each household.
Electric stoves and water heaters are electrical appliances that consume a lot of electricity in the family.

2. Water heaters:
Water heaters are one of the electrical appliances used a lot in families, especially in areas with cold winters. Depending on the capacity and capacity of the tank, the amount of electricity consumed will be different. Normally, a 20 liter tank is suitable for a family of 2-4 people. For families who have the habit of turning on the water heater before use and turning it off when the tank is hot enough, the average time to turn on the tank is 1 hour/day, the amount of electricity consumed is about 70-80 kWh/month. If used continuously, the tank is turned on more, the amount of electricity consumed can be up to 230-340 kWh/month.
3. Electric kettle:
The electric kettle is a device used to keep hot water continuously, serving the needs of daily use. A tank with a capacity of 4-6 liters is plugged in continuously, maintaining the boiling of water every 6 hours or according to the lowest temperature threshold set by the manufacturer. Because it is plugged in and boils water continuously, this device also consumes quite a lot of electricity. A thermos has a capacity of about 700-1200W, depending on the manufacturer and capacity. If plugged in continuously and using about 6-8 liters of water/day, a thermos can consume 40-100 kWh/month.
4. Desktop computer:
Desktop computers are also one of the devices that consume a lot of electricity. Depending on the type of machine, the average power consumption can be around 35-450W. High-configuration machines can have a capacity of up to 1000W. According to EVN, the average power consumption of a desktop computer in a month is about 70 kWh.
