With the advance of technology, the houses in Spain are being filled every day with more electronic devices. This is nothing other than higher energy consumption And, therefore, of a Up on the Light Invoice. Perhaps one of the most effective tricks that we can carry out is to identify which are those appliances that most consume to take measures and reduce their impact.
There are different ways to save energy at home. One of the options They are the Smart plugs that are connected to the current and are managed with WiFi. In addition, they can be controlled from the computer. The appliances They represent most of the energy expenditure. The problem is that not only just extinguish them, but we must also take into account the Ghost consumption that we usually forget. This means that if a device is still plugged in to the current and is not used continues to spend light.
Many believe the fridge or washing machine are two of the devices that consume the most despite these turned off. However, it is not true. They are the Smart TV either Intelligent television those responsible for that ghost consumption. Today they are designed to stay in a constant waiting condition or stand by modethat is, they maintain some active functions despite not being in use.
As explained by the Organization of consumers and users (OCU)the rest state of a device means that “it is working at a minimum level and You can quickly answer a signal or command to work again at full performance. “This means that it continues to consume electricity, but” with consumption much lower than those of the apparatus on. “
Electricity consumption of Smart TV
The functions that usually consume energy from intelligent televisions are Internet connection and the operating system updates. This is not the only problem, but the rest state that has been incorporated with many intelligent televisions to turn on quickly, increases energy consumption.
This stand by mode can be different depending on the television mode we have. However, It is usually located between 0.5 and 3 watts. Represents between 2-5% of energy that would use if it were on. At first glance it may seem that it is a very low percentage but over time the accumulated can be considerable expense.
Experts recommend off the television completely if we want to save energy and reduce our consumption, but it is also an effective movement if we want protect the device from possible short circuits or thunderstorms.
However, there are some cases in which it is not so advisable. This happens with Models with OLED screen.
